• Abstract: Quantum imaginarity, as a critical resource metric for quantifying intrinsic nonreal coherence encoded in quantum states, exhibits nontrivial evolutionary behaviors in curved spacetime backgrounds. This work focuses on bipartite Dirac field reduced states in the quantum atmosphere of a static Schwarzschild black hole, aiming to explore the modulation of three mainstream imaginarity measures by Hawking thermal radiation. We reveal that the relative-entropy imaginarity, the geometric imaginarity and robustness of imaginarity, the fully accessible state presents a valley-shaped radial profile with a local minimum inside the quantum atmosphere, while the cross-coupling and fully inaccessible states follow opposite peak-shaped trends. Further analysis demonstrates that the Hartle-Hawking constant significantly strengthens the redistribution effect of imaginarity across both regions, whereas an increase in the event horizon radius weakens such redistribution and flattens the extremum features. These findings offer a new perspective for decoding the information structure of black hole quantum atmospheres and the intrinsic quantum nature of Hawking radiation.
