contents Considering two accelerated observers with same acceleration in two timelike wedges of Rindler frame we calculate the Feynman-{\it like} propagators for a real scalar field in a thermal bath with respect to the Minkowski vacuum. Only the same wedge correlators are symmetric under the exchange of the {\it real} thermal bath and Unruh thermal bath, while the cross-wedge ones are not. Interestingly, they contain a cross term which is a collective effects of acceleration and thermal nature of field. Particularly the zero temperature description along with {\it no analytic continuation} between coordinates in right and left Rindler wedges, as expected, corresponds to usual thermofield-double formalism. However, unlike in later formulation, the two fields are now parts of the original system. Moreover it bears the features of a spacial case of closed-time formalism (CTP) where the Keldysh contour is along the increasing Rindler time in the respective Rindler wedges. Interestingly, we observe a new feature that the analytic continuation between the wedges provides the two more spacial cases of CTP. Hence Rindler-frame-field theory seems to be a viable candidate to deal thermal theory of fields and may illuminate the search for a bridge between the usual existing formalisms.
