Abstract
We examine Hawking radiation from a Schwarzschild black hole in several reference frames using the quasi-classical tunneling picture. It is shown that when one uses, Îâexp(Im[â®pdr]), rather than, Îâexp(2Im[â«pdr]), for the tunneling probability/decay rate one obtains twice the original Hawking temperature. The former expression for Î is argued to be correct since â®pdr is invariant under canonical transformations, while â«pdr is not. Thus, either the tunneling methods of calculating Hawking radiation are suspect or the Hawking temperature is twice that originally calculated.
