Abstract
We study the robustness of the spectrum emitted by an acoustic black hole by considering series of stationary flows that become either subsonic or supersonic, i.e. when the horizon disappears. We work with the superluminal Bogoliubov dispersion of Bose--Einstein condensates. We find that the spectrum remains remarkably Planckian until the horizon disappears. When the flow is everywhere supersonic, new pair creation channels open. This will be the subject of a forthcoming work.
