Can we infer Hawking radiation assuming the Unruh effect?

An observer near the event horizon of a black hole will experience an extremely strong gravitational field. Due to the principle of equivalence, this observer cannot locally distinguish between this ...

Isn't Unruh effect against the equivalence principle?

Doesn't the Unruh effect violate EP? Since the temperature of an absolutely accelerating reference frame would be different from an inertial one according to this effect, then one finds a criterion to ...

Can an Observer Distinguish between Unruh Effect and Hawking Radiation by Measuring Temperature?

In Unruh effect, the temperature of background appears to be proportional to acceleration. On the other hand, the temperature of a black hole is inversely proportional to its mass. If the two ...

Does any ordinary object emit radiation due to Unruh effect and equivalence principle? [duplicate]

I am just wondering is there Hawking radiation for any object (that has mass) due to its gravity. Base on the Unruh effect and equivalence principle, any object should emit Black-body radiation or ...
