@duetosymmetry.com If Hawking radiation is more like cavity radiation, does it actually require a horizon? Do neutron stars emit Hawking radiation?

If I understand the calculation correctly, there has to be a horizon. There needs to be a certain nontrivial transformation from incoming states to outgoing states; the transformation will be nonunitary because of the horizon (morally because the horizon absorbs quantum information)
