The stationary Killing vector field is k=∂t​=∂v​, with k2=−f. The normal to r=constant has squared norm grr=f, so r=r+​ is a null hypersurface; there k is both tangent and normal. It is therefore a Killing horizon.
For a static metric of this form, the surface gravity is κ=f′(r+​)/2. Since r+2​r−2​=Q2 and r+2​+r−2​=2M,
κ=r+3​r+2​−r−2​​=r+3​2M2−Q2​​​.

For the extremal black hole M=Q, the horizons coincide and κ=0.
