The Hawking effect of Dirac particles in a variable-mass Kerr spacetime is
investigated by using the method of the generalized tortoise coordinate tra
nsformation. The location and the temperature of the event horizon of the n
on-stationary Kerr black hole are derived. It is shown that the temperature
and the shape of the event horizon depend not only on the time but also on
the polar angle. However, our results demonstrate that the Fermi-Dirac spe
ctrum displays a residual term which is absent from that of the Bose-Einste
in distribution.
