Determine whether the surface gravity $\\kappa$ also drifts in time (sign and rate of $\\mathrm{d}\\kappa/\\mathrm{d}t$, and whether the evolution follows an evaporation law analogous to $\\mathrm{d}M/\\mathrm{d}t$ proportional to $-T_H^2$), and measure the predicted stationary or time-dependent profile change. An answer is a measured profile change that agrees with the computed one after three-body loss, heating and stimulated emission are subtracted.","problem_ref":"625b3a0b0ff6e29656446e369ecb0e88f1bf08a229b045dbaf283f8c2666876b","references":"","settled_by":"A measurement of the density, velocity or Mach-number profile change in a stationary BEC analog that matches the computed back-reaction after atom loss and heating are subtracted.","status_note":"Back-reaction equations were derived (Liberati, Tricella, Trombettoni 2020; Balbinot, Fabbri, Ciliberto, Pavloff 2025), and Ciliberto et al.
