来自快速旋转中子星的引力波的核约束

Nuclear constraints on gravitational waves from rapidly rotating neutron stars

Aaron Worley, Plamen G. Krastev, Bao-An Li

摘要:

引力波是时空中的微小扰动,是广义相对论的基本预言,尽管尚未得到直接证实。快速旋转的中子星是引力辐射的可能来源之一,这取决于脉冲星的旋转频率、恒星物质状态方程的细节以及到探测器的距离。应用一个受核实验室最新数据约束的具有对称性能量的状态方程,我们对快速旋转的中子星发射的引力波的应变振幅设定了一个上限。

英文摘要:

Gravitational waves are tiny disturbances in space-time and are a fundamental, although not yet directly confirmed, prediction of General Relativity. Rapidly rotating neutron stars are one of the possible sources of gravitational radiation dependent upon pulsar's rotational frequency, details of the equation of state of stellar matter, and distance to detector. Applying an equation of state with symmetry energy constrained by recent nuclear laboratory data, we set an upper limit on the strain-amplitude of gravitational waves emitted by rapidly rotating neutron stars.
