What is recorded here?
Showed that quantum effects cause black holes to emit an approximately thermal particle spectrum with a temperature set by surface gravity, linking quantum field theory, gravitation and thermodynamics.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 1975 Communications in Mathematical Physics paper. Hawking’s 1974 announcement, Bekenstein entropy, earlier black-hole mechanics, later derivations and information-loss debates remain separate.
