Construction of a Penrose Diagram for a Spatially Coherent Evaporating Black Hole

Understand

A Penrose diagram is constructed for an example black hole that evaporates at a steady rate as measured by a distant observer, until the mass vanishes, yielding a final state Minkowski space-time.

• Coordinate dependencies of significant features, such as the horizon and coordinate anomalies, are clearly demonstrated on the diagram.
• The large-scale causal structure of the space-time is briefly discussed.
