Abstract
A universal scheme for describing gravitational thermal effects is developed as a generalization of Unruh effect. Quasi-Rindler (QR) coordinates are constructed in an arbitrary curved space-time in such a way that the imaginary QR time be periodical. The observer at rest in QR coordinates should experience a thermal effect. Application to de Sitter space-time is considered.
