Near-extremal black hole evaporation in asymptotically flat spacetime

  • 1. Department of Physics, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912 (United States)

Description

We study black hole evaporation of near-extremal black holes in spherically reduced models with asymptotically Minkowskian spacetime, with the effects of the back reaction on the geometry included semiclassically. The stress-energy tensor is calculated for null in-falling observers. It is shown that the evaporation proceeds smoothly and there are no instabilities of the outer or inner apparent horizon before the end point of evaporation
