I'm trying to understand how Vantablack emits heat, but I can't find any sources online. Is it just diffuse emission? That's what it seems like from what little information I've gathered. Or is it directional based on the orientation of the nanotubes? The most information I could find comes from the paper this image is from about camouflage and doesn't directly address the question.

its a literal blackbody, no? im not sure the nanostructure affects the radiation it emits, but you could broaden your search to something like “black body radiation of nanostructures”, not just vanta.
