A dark soliton becomes unstable when it is incident on a background density gradient, and the induced instability results in the emission of sound. Detailed quantitative studies of sound emission are performed for various potentials, such…

The meanfield interaction in a Bose condensate provides a nonlinearity which can allow stable structures to exist in the meanfield wavefunction. We discuss a number of examples where condensates, modelled by the one dimensional Gross…
