  In a seminal paper, Alcubierre showed that Einstein's theory of general
relativity appears to allow a super-luminal motion. In the present study, we
use a recent eternal-warp-drive solution found by Alcubierre to study the
effect of Hawking radiation upon an observer located within the warp drive in
the framework of the quantum tunneling method. We find the same expression for
the Hawking temperatures associated with the tunneling of both massive vector
and scalar particles, and show this expression to be proportional to the
velocity of the warp drive. On the other hand, since the discovery of
gravitational waves, the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of black holes have also been
extensively studied. With this puprpose in mind, we perform a QNM analysis of
massive scalar field perturbations in the background of the
eternal-Alcubierre-warp-drive (EAWD) spacetime. Our analytical analysis shows
that massive scalar perturbations lead to stable QNMs.
