A note on analogue semi-classical gravity in (1+1) dimensions

Acoustic spacetimes have been known to offer analogue models for black hole physics and cosmology. Within this context, aspects of analogue quantum field theories in curved spacetime are studied. In particular some new comments have been made on the analogue Hawking temperature including a quick derivation of the result. Further, analogue cosmology is explored, within which, an acoustic version of the Parker-Toms model is proposed and the corresponding quantities have been calculated. The limits of the acoustic analogue are emphasised.
