Analogous Hawking Radiation from Astrophysical Black Hole Accretion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the concept of acoustic black holes and their relation to Hawking radiation as described in a specific paper. Participants are exploring whether the analogous Hawking radiation is simply acoustic oscillations in accretion matter or if it involves more complex phenomena like black hole ringing and gravitational waves. One contributor suggests that acoustic oscillations may represent string or texture vibrations influenced by vacuum energy. The conversation also touches on the hypothetical nature of string/texture vibrations and their potential implications in astrophysical contexts. Overall, the dialogue reflects a deep interest in the intricate connections between acoustics, black hole physics, and theoretical frameworks.

Hi everyone

Im trying to understand a paper(title of the thread)
arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0404482

Just woundering what an acoustic black hole and acoustic event horizon would actually be?
Is the Analogous Hawking Radiation just ascoustic osccilations in the Accretion matter? like the acoustic ossilation that are present in the CMB?

Or is it something more complicated like black hole ringing, in which case do gravity waves come into play? they(the paper) never mention gravity waves so is it just ascoustic vibrations?

If so how is this analogous Hawking Radiation?

Interesting paper though ( i think)

I would contend that acoustic oscillations are merely string/texture vibrations against the background vacuum energy.

Its similar to the properties of acoustic wave propagation and epicyclic oscillations within certain tori objects.

What do you mean by "string/texture"? (Just asking, not contesting).

Most (I think) simply attribute the acoustics to properties of accretion matter based on size (mass) and energy. There is a good paper from 1997, before the "recent" famous detection, about what might cause and must be the source of BH acoustics. See:

String/Texture Vibrations

In my research;

String/texture vibrations are “hypothetical” remnants (of Earth-mass size for each 90+/-cm of length) from the Inflationary Period of the Big Bang. They possesses enigmatic gravitational fields (affecting 4-11 dimensions) which are electrical superconductors. You could call them “imperfections in the geometry of space”. They relate (and probably explain) the resultant evolution of the D-F string network in compact dimensions.

The only reference “in peer-reviewed journals” I can find is in paper form. It is a document which comes close to explaining how I picture them;
“Antigravity Beams from Cosmic Strings:
T. Vachaspati, Physical Review D35, 1767, (1987).”
Sorry, but there is not much on the Net I can refer you to. My Vacuum Heart Theory really needs a new language (not even Maths can explain it adequately). I hope this doesn’t all sound too “double-entendre like”…
 
im just glad someone finnaly replied
didnt understand to much of your relpy Dogon but would love to get into some of that research your doing

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
