黑洞X射线双星轨道演化对额外维大小的限制

Constraints on the Size of Extra Dimensions from the Orbital Evolution of Black-Hole X-Ray Binaries

Tim Johannsen, Dimitrios Psaltis, Jeffrey E. McClintock

摘要:

物理学中一个看似合理的统一方案认为,可观测的宇宙是一个四维表面(“膜”)嵌入在一个更高维的弯曲时空(“体”)中。在这种具有无限大额外维度的膜世界引力模型中,黑洞通过额外引力自由度的释放而快速蒸发,导致恒星质量黑洞的寿命明显小于哈勃时间。我们表明,预测的蒸发率导致的X射线双星的轨道周期的变化,窝藏黑洞是可观察到的与当前的仪器。我们获得的二进制A0620-00的轨道周期的变化率的上限,并用它来约束的额外的维度的渐近曲率半径的值相比,通过桌面实验获得的。此外,我们认为,任何测量的周期增加低质量X射线双星与高质量比是新的物理学超越广义相对论和标准模型的证据。

英文摘要:

One of the plausible unification schemes in physics considers the observable universe to be a 4-dimensional surface (the "brane") embedded in a higher-dimensional curved spacetime (the "bulk"). In such braneworld gravity models with infinitely large extra dimensions, black holes evaporate fast through the emission of the additional gravitational degrees of freedom, resulting in lifetimes of stellar-mass black holes that are significantly smaller than the Hubble time. We show that the predicted evaporation rate leads to a change in the orbital period of X-ray binaries harboring black holes that is observable with current instruments. We obtain an upper limit on the rate of change of the orbital period of the binary A0620-00 and use it to constrain the asymptotic curvature radius of the extra dimension to a value comparable to the one obtained by table-top experiments. Furthermore we argue that any measurement of a period increase for low-mass X-ray binaries with a high mass ratio is evidence for new physics beyond general relativity and the standard model.
