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.
