Abstract: In this paper we prove that for any spacelike hypersurface containing an untrapped barrier in a stationary spacetime satisfying the null energy condition, any marginally outer trapped surface cannot lie in the exterior region where the stationary Killing vector is timelike. In the static case we prove that any marginally outer trapped surface cannot penetrate into the exterior region where the static Killing vector is timelike. In fact, we prove these result at an initial data level, without even assuming existence of a spacetime. The proof relies on a powerful theorem by Andersson and Metzger on existence of an outermost marginally outer trapped surface.
