question
Do black holes actually emit Hawking radiation and evaporate?
statement
A black hole - whether formed by collapse or preexistent with appropriate boundary conditions on the past horizon - emits a physically real thermal flux of particles as seen by distant observers (Hawking evaporation), the prediction being independent of the details of the collapse that formed it.

H-10 - Rotating micro black holes evaporate essentially as fast as nonrotating ones - lifetime differs by at most a factor 2.7

The paper’s overall subject: it probes whether and in what sense the Hawking flux is real, given that particle content proves observer-dependent (a geodesic detector near the horizon sees no flux) and that different regularization techniques can change the computed outflow.

Extraction note: full text is paywalled (APS; no legal open copy found - the paper predates arXiv); extraction rests on the published abstract (via INSPIRE-HEP) and the step-2 source record. Depth-limited.
