Based on those documents, can you describe "how it works"? The

Radation has mass, as can be seen from m = E/c^2. If a pair of virtual
photons are created by the stress at the event horizon, one falls into
the black hole, and one escapes, the black hole loses mass.
However given the mass of a photon, compared to that of a black hole,
I'd submit that the process for a black hole 1.5 times the mass of our
local star, that gradual loss should eventually convert the black hole
to a neutron star. We should be looking for a new neutron star that
wasn't there during the previous survey.
Also since its now visible, radiating tons of mass a second as photons,
the cooling rate s/b many times faster. My best guess is that a hole 10x
the mass of our local star would be many times the age of the currently
known universe, so the switching might be several civilizations into the
future.
What the dominant specie that might be at that time is not knowable. It
won't be homo sapiens given the propensity of us to kill each other in
wholesale quantity's.
