Abstract
A general analysis for characterizing and classifying `isolated horizons' is presented in terms of null tetrads and spin coefficients. The freely specifiable spin coefficients corresponding to isolated horizons are identified and specific symmetry classes are enumerated. For isolated horizons admitting at least one spatial isometry, a standard set of spherical coordinates are introduced and associated metric is obtained. An angular momentum is also defined.
