Abstract

Misner initial data are a standard example of time-symmetric initial data with two apparent horizons. Compact formulae describing such data are presented in the cases of equal or non-equal masses (i.e. isometric or non-isometric horizons). The interaction energy in the "Schwarzschild + test particle" limit of the Misner data is analyzed.
