Where did I say anything that looked like I said anything about the effects of gamma rays?
primordial black holes have been observed to evaporate in a burst of gamma radiation. That *is* Hawking radiation
Well, is a photon deposited just beyond the event horizon of a black hole moving "into" or "out of" a strong gravitational field?
Perhaps no one here is wrong, per se, and we're talking somewhat at cross purposes, but the truth stands; HR is always gamma rays initially unless said radiation gets far enough away from the black hole to allow it to become redshifted.
Also, perhaps you weren't suggesting that gamma rays couldn't act as thermal radiation, though at the time you seemed to be.
Perhaps the term 'observed' was a little strong on my part.
we'd see a burst of gamma rays
Any photons 'created' (again, a notion I reject; though my rejection of it is not so relevant in this argument) anywhere close to the event horizon of a black hole will be subject to huge gravitational forces and, hence, blueshifting.
As I said, yes.
