标量诱导引力波的宇宙剪切

Cosmic Shear from Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves

摘要:

由前景密度扰动引起的弱引力透镜在背景图像的剪切中产生梯度模式。相反,宇宙学的张量扰动会引起与像旋转相关的非零旋度模式。本文研究了由暴胀产生的原初引力波和由观测到的原初密度涨落谱产生的二阶引力波的透镜特征。我们推导了星系透镜巡天在红移1 ~ 3时的旋度模和宇宙微波背景(CMB)在红移1100时的旋度模。我们发现,旋度模式角功率谱与次级张量模式的星系透镜调查占主导地位的主要引力波从通货膨胀产生的相应信号。然而,这两个张量的贡献剪切旋度模式频谱低于即将到来的星系和CMB透镜调查的预计噪声水平,因此不太可能被检测到。

英文摘要:

Weak gravitational lensing by foreground density perturbations generates a gradient mode in the shear of background images. In contrast, cosmological tensor perturbations induce a non-zero curl mode associated with image rotations. In this note, we study the lensing signatures of both primordial gravitational waves from inflation and second-order gravitational waves generated from the observed spectrum of primordial density fluctuations. We derive the curl mode for galaxy lensing surveys at redshifts of 1 to 3 and for lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at a redshift of 1100. We find that the curl mode angular power spectrum associated with secondary tensor modes for galaxy lensing surveys dominates over the corresponding signal generated by primary gravitational waves from inflation. However, both tensor contributions to the shear curl mode spectrum are below the projected noise levels of upcoming galaxy and CMB lensing surveys and therefore are unlikely to be detectable.
