The power of this phenomenon decreases with increasing source mass, implying that currently-evaporating sources must be small.
A Rindler observer near a Cauchy horizon sees an analogue of this phenomenon due to the Unruh effect. The power of this phenomenon decreases with increasing source mass, implying that currently-evaporating sources must be small. Its associated temperature is proportional to the surface gravity of the source, and it arises when one particle from a pair production event tunnels out through the event horizon. For 10 points, identify this type of thermal radiation that causes mass loss in black holes, named for the British physicist who wrote A Brief History of Time.
