黑洞X射线双星XTE J1118 +480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 the Black-Hole X-Ray Binary XTE J1118+480

摘要:

在兰德尔-桑德拉姆类型的宇宙中,黑洞是不稳定的,并在额外维度中发射引力模式。这导致天体物理学黑洞的寿命大大缩短,并导致黑洞双星的轨道周期发生可观测的变化。我得到了一个上限的变化率的二进制XTE J1118+480的轨道周期和约束的渐近曲率半径的额外的维度的值,这是相同的顺序,从其他天体物理来源的约束。XTE J1118+480的一个独特性质是,由于单独的磁制动,轨道周期的预期变化率是如此之大,以至于只需对轨道周期进行一次额外的测量,就可以首次探测到黑洞双星的轨道演化,并对35微米量级的额外维度的大小施加迄今为止最严格的限制。

英文摘要:

In a universe of the Randall-Sundrum type, black holes are unstable and emit gravitational modes in the extra dimension. This leads to dramatically shortened lifetimes of astrophysical black holes and to an observable change of the orbital period of black-hole binaries. I obtain an upper limit on the rate of change of the orbital period of the binary XTE J1118+480 and constrain the asymptotic curvature radius of the extra dimension to a value that is of the same order as the constraints from other astrophysical sources. A unique property of XTE J1118+480 is that the expected rate of change of the orbital period due to magnetic braking alone is so large that only one additional measurement of the orbital period would lead to the first detection of orbital evolution of a black-hole binary and impose the tightest constraint to date on the size of one extra dimension of the order of 35 microns.
