Abstract
We give a new definition of “closed outer trapped surface’’ with respect to a hypersurface and show that the boundary of the trapped region (the apparent horizon) is a marginally trapped surface, i.e., has vanishing outer null expansion. While this is an important and well known result, there does not seem to exist a proof in the literature.
