A signature for the absence of event horizons
arXiv:0812.0833 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2012.02.003
Abstract
A sharp dip in the spectrum of gamma rays coming from compact objects below 70 MeV would be an unambiguous signal that compact astrophysical objects have a physical surface, and there is no event horizon. Observation of this effect would open a window for the empirical study of Planck scale physics
