Yes.
Explanation:
Stephen Hawking showed that quantum effects allow black holes to emit exact black body radiation, which is produced as if it were emitted by a black body, that is, a body that is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment, with a temperature that is inversely proportional to that of the black hole.
Such radiation has been termed 'Hawking radiation'.
