contents We investigate Hawking-like particle production in analogue gravity systems with superluminal modified dispersion relations. For a broad class of even, convex, and polynomially bounded dispersion relations, we show that the relevant outgoing modes are governed by an effective horizon induced by dispersive propagation. Extending the near-horizon S-matrix method beyond the purely sonic regime, we compute the Bogoliubov coefficients and demonstrate that, in the low-energy and adiabatic limits, they agree with the tunneling result obtained from the approximant ray. In both cases, the emission spectrum is controlled by an effective surface gravity associated to the effective horizon, leading to controlled deviations from exact thermality. Our results establish an analytical connection between the Bogoliubov and tunneling descriptions in dispersive settings and clarify the conditions under which Hawking radiation remains robust against ultraviolet modifications, with implications extending beyond analogue gravity.
