Abstract
Planck-scale corrections to the black-hole radiation spectrum in the Parikh-Wilczek tunneling framework are calculated. The corrective terms arise from modifications in the expression of the surface gravity in terms of the mass-energy of the black hole-emitted particle system. The form of the new spectrum is discussed together with the possible consequences for the fate of black holes in the late stages of evaporation.

13 pages; the contents of this paper overlap somewhat with the earlier submissions hep-th/0504188 and gr-qc/0505015; (v2) references added and various cosmetic (but no physics) changes, to appear in JHEP
