We consider the wave equation for sound in a moving fluid with a fourth-order anomalous dispersion relation. The velocity of the fluid is a linear function of position, giving two points in the flow where the fluid velocity matches the group velocity of low-frequency waves. We find the exact solution for wave propagation in the flow. The scattering shows amplification of classical waves, leading to spontaneous emission when the waves are quantized. In the dispersionless limit the system corresponds to a 1+1-dimensional black-hole or white-hole binary and there is a thermal spectrum of Hawking radiation from each horizon. Dispersion changes the scattering coefficients so that the quantum emission is no longer thermal. The scattering coefficients were previously obtained by Busch and Parentani in a study of dispersive fields in de Sitter space [Phys. Rev. D 86, 104033 (2012)]. Our results give further details of the wave propagation in this exactly solvable case, where our focus is on laboratory systems.

In the context of analog gravity the Hawking effect can be generalized to domains outside astrophysics. Arguably, the most successful systems for this analogy have been so far the sonic and the optical ones. However, problems arise in the analog systems as their dispersive effects are too large to be ignored, and this in turn modifies the usual thermal spectrum of Hawking radiation. In this work we perform analytical and numerical studies on how the velocity profile modifies the Hawking temperature in dispersive media, including some with direct experimental application.
We determine the exact solution of the Einstein field equations for the case of a spherically symmetric shell of liquid matter, characterized by an energy density which is constant with the Schwarzschild radial coordinate $r$ between two values $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$. The solution is given in three regions, one being the well-known analytical Schwarzschild solution in the outer vacuum region, one being determined analytically in the inner vacuum region, and one being determined mostly analytically but partially numerically, within the matter region. The solutions for the temporal coefficient of the metric and for the pressure within this region are given in terms of a non-elementary but fairly straightforward real integral. We show that in this solution there is a singularity at the origin, and give the parameters of that singularity in terms of the geometrical and physical parameters of the shell. This does not correspond to an infinite concentration of matter, but in fact to zero energy density at the center. It does, however, imply that the spacetime within the spherical cavity is not flat, so that there is a non-trivial gravitational field there, in contrast with Newtonian gravitation. This gravitational field has the effect of stabilizing the geometrical configuration of the matter, since any particle of the matter that wanders out into the vacuum regions tends to be brought back to the bulk of the matter by the gravitational field.
We present a simple exact solution for the interior of a rotating star. The interpretation of the stress energy tensor as that of a fluid requires the existence of a high viscosity, which is quite expected for a rotating fluid. In spite of the negative stresses, energy conditions are in fact all satisfied.

Observing quantum particle creation by black holes (Hawking radiation) in the astrophysical context is, in ordinary situations, hopeless. Nevertheless the Hawking effect, which depends only on kinematical properties of wave propagation in the presence of horizons, is present also in nongravitational contexts, for instance in stationary fluids undergoing supersonic flow. We present results on how to observe the analog Hawking radiation in Bose-Einstein condensates by a direct measurement of the density correlations due to the phonon pairs (Hawking quanta-partner) created by the acoustic horizon.
We consider further on the problem of the analogue Hawking radiation. We propose a fourth order ordinary differential equation, which allows to discuss the problem of Hawking radiation in analogue gravity in a unified way, encompassing fluids and dielectric media. In a suitable approximation, involving weak dispersive effects, WKB solutions are obtained far from the horizon (turning point), and furthermore an equation governing the behaviour near the horizon is derived, and a complete set of analytical solutions is obtained also near the horizon. The subluminal case of the original fluid model introduced by Corley and Jacobson, the case of dielectric media are discussed. We show that in this approximation scheme there is a mode which is not directly involved in the pair-creation process. Thermality is verified and a framework for calculating the grey-body factor is provided.
