Hawking Radiation of Photons in a Vaidya–de Sitter Black Hole

Hawking evaporation of photons in a Vaidya–de Sitter black hole is investigated by using the method of generalized tortoise coordinate transformation. Both the location and the temperature of the event horizon depend on the time. It is shown that Hawking radiation of photons exists only for the complex Maxwell scalar φ0 in the advanced Eddington–Finkelstein coordinate system. This asymmetry of Hawking radiation for different components of Maxwell fields probably arises from the asymmetry of spacetime in the advanced Eddington–Finkelstein coordinate system. It is shown that the black body radiant spectrum of photons resembles that of Klein–Gordon particles.
