Bremsstrahlung Effects around Evaporating Black Holes

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We discuss a variety of bremsstrahlung processes associated with charged particles emitted by evaporating black holes. We show that such particles produce a negligible number of bremsstrahlung photons from their scattering off each other, though at low frequencies inner bremsstrahlung photons dominate over the direct Hawking emission of photons. This analysis and the further analysis of the accompanying paper invalidate Heckler's claim that sufficiently hot evaporating black holes form QED photospheres.
