Can a Charged, Accelerating Black Hole Radiate Photons?

like my previous post on two body black hole solutions, I've got a question about a non-stationary black hole which is something not even mentioned in my GR textbook. Basically, would a charged, accelerating black hole radiate? If so would this decrease the mass of the black hole? I am pretty sure it would radiate and that it wouldn't decrease the mass but then again I am not sure how acceleration factors into its mass.

You can find a slightly related question in this topic: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=171003 and http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath528/kmath528.htm

The black hole would certainly radiate gravitational waves.

I was really asking about photons.
 

Thread 'I don't see how a black hole's event horizon can be crossed'

OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...

Thread 'Question about Parallel Transport'

In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...

Thread 'Synchronizing clocks in an inertial frame if light is anisotropic'

ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
