Acoustic black holes: horizons, ergospheres and Hawking radiation
- M. Visser
- Physics
- 1 December 1997
It is a deceptively simple question to ask how acoustic disturbances propagate in a non-homogeneous flowing fluid. Subject to suitable restrictions, this question can be answered by invoking the…

Black-bounce to traversable wormhole
- Alex Simpson, M. Visser

So-called “regular black holes” are a topic currently of considerable interest in the general relativity and astrophysics communities. Herein we investigate a particularly interesting regular black…
Black holes in general relativity

- Physics
- 28 January 2009
What is going on (as of August 2008) at the interface between theoretical general relativity, string-inspired models, and observational astrophysics? Quite a lot. In this mini-survey I will make a…
Essential and inessential features of Hawking radiation
- M. Visser
- Physics, Education
- 13 June 2001
There are numerous derivations of the Hawking effect available in the literature. They emphasise different features of the process, and sometimes make markedly different physical assumptions. This…

Stable gravastars—an alternative to black holes?
- M. Visser, D. Wiltshire
- Physics
- 23 October 2003
The 'gravastar' picture developed by Mazur and Mottola is one of a very small number of serious challenges to our usual conception of a 'black hole'. In the gravastar picture there is effectively a…
Analogue gravity from Bose-Einstein condensates
- Carlos Barcelo Stefano Liberati, M. Visser
- Physics
- 7 November 2000
We analyse prospects for the use of Bose–Einstein condensates as condensedmatter systems suitable for generating a generic ‘effective metric’, and for mimicking kinematic aspects of general…
