Acoustic holes are the hydrodynamic analogue of standard black holes. Featuring an acoustic horizon, these systems spontaneously emit phonons at the Hawking temperature. We derive the Hawking temperature of the acoustic horizon by fully exploiting the analogy between black and acoustic holes within a covariant kinetic theory approach. After deriving the phonon distribution function from the covariant kinetic equations, we reproduce the expression of the Hawking temperature by equating the entropy and energy losses of the acoustic hole and the entropy and energy gains of the spontaneously emitted phonons. Differently from previous calculations we do not need a microscopical treatment of normal modes propagation. Our approach opens a different perspective on the meaning of Hawking temperature and its connection with entropy which may allow an easier study of non stationary horizons beyond thermodynamic equilibrium.

As distinct from the black hole physics, the de Sitter thermodynamics is not determined by the cosmological horizon, the effective temperature differs from the Hawking temperature. In particular, the atom in the de Sitter universe experiences thermal activation corresponding to the local temperature, which is twice larger than the Hawking temperature, $T_{rm loc}=2T_{rm Hawking}$. The same double Hawking temperature describes the decay of massive scalar field in the de Sitter universe. The reason, why the local temperature is exactly twice the Hawking temperature, follows from the geometry of the de Sitter spacetime. The weakening of the role of the cosmological horizon in de Sitter universe is confirmed by considering Hawking radiation. We discuss the difference between the radiation of particles in the de Sitter spacetime and the Schwinger pair creation in the electric field. We use the stationary Painleve-Gullstrand metric for the de Sitter spacetime, where the particles are created by Hawking radiation from the cosmological horizon, and time independent gauge for the electric field. In these stationary frames the Hamiltonians and the energy spectra of massive particles look rather similar. However, the final results are essentially different. In case of Schwinger pair production the number density of the created pairs grows with time, while in the de Sitter vacuum the number density of the created pairs is finite. The latter suggests that Hawking radiation from the cosmological horizon does not lead to instability of the de Sitter vacuum. The other mechanisms of instability are required for the dynamical solution of the cosmological constant problem. We consider the possible role of the local temperature $T_{rm loc}=2T_{rm H}$ in the decay of the de Sitter space-time due to the energy exchange between the vacuum energy and relativistic matter with this temperature.
Arising out of a Non-local non-relativistic BEC, we present an Analogue gravity model upto $mathcal{O}(xi^{2})$ accuracy in the presence of the quantum potential term for a canonical acoustic BH in $(3+1)$-d spacetime where the series solution of the free minimally coupled KG equation for the large length scale massive scalar modes is derived. We systematically address the issues of the presence of the quantum potential term being the root cause of a UV-IR coupling between short wavelength `primary modes which are supposedly Hawking radiated through the sonic horizon and the large wavelength `secondary modes. In the quantum gravity experiments of analogue Hawking radiation in the laboratory, this UV-IR coupling is inevitable and one can not get rid of these large wavelength excitations which would grow over space by gaining energy from the short wavelength Hawking radiated modes. We identify the characteristic feature in the growth rate(s) that would distinguish these primary and secondary modes.
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 investigate wave optical imaging of black holes with Hawking radiation. The spatial correlation function of Hawking radiation is expressed in terms of transmission and reflection coefficients for scalar wave modes and evaluated by taking summation over angular qunatum numbers numerically for the Unruh-Hawking state of the Kerr-de Sitter black hole. Then wave optical images of evaporating black hole are obtained by Fourier transformation of the spatial correlation function. For short wavelength, the image of the black hole with the outgoing mode of the Unruh-Hawking state looks like a star with its surface is given by the photon sphere. It is found that interference between incoming modes from the cosmological horizon and reflected modes due to scattering of the black hole can enhance brightness of images in the vicinity of the photon sphere. For long wavelenth, whole field of view becomes bright and emission region of Hawking radiation cannot be identifed.
We discuss the merger process of binary black holes with Hawking radiation taken into account. Besides the redshifted radiation to infinity, binary black holes can exchange radiation between themselves, which is first redshifted and then blueshifted when it propagates from one hole to the other. The exchange rate should be large when the temperature-divergent horizons are penetrating each other to form a single horizon with unique temperature. This will cause non-negligible mass and angular momentum transfer between the black holes during the merging process of the horizons. We further argue in the large mass ratio limit that the light hole whose local evaporation is enhanced by the competing redshift-blueshift effects will probably evaporate or decay completely before reaching the the horizon of the heavy one. We also discuss the possibility of testing Hawking radiation and even exploring the information loss puzzle in gravitational wave observations.
