In a general metric theory of gravitation in four dimensions, six polarizations of a gravitational wave are allowed: two scalar and two vector modes, in addition to two tensor modes in general relativity. Such additional polarization modes appear due to additional degrees of freedom in modified theories of gravitation or theories with extra dimensions. Thus, observations of gravitational waves can be utilized to constrain the extended models of gravitation. In this paper, we investigate detectability of additional polarization modes of gravitational waves, particularly focusing on a stochastic gravitational-wave background, with laser-interferometric detectors on the Earth. We found that multiple detectors can separate the mixture of polarization modes in detector outputs, and that they have almost the same sensitivity to each polarization mode of stochastic gravitational-wave background.
Probing primordial non-Gaussianity with the power spectrum and bispectrum of future 21cm intensity maps
在再电离之后,星系中中性氢的21厘米发射线提供了暗物质的示踪物。使用SKA和其他射电望远镜进行的下一代强度测绘调查将覆盖大范围的天空区域和广泛的红移,便于将其用作原始非高斯性的探测器。{以前的工作已经表明,双谱可以实现对原始非高斯性的严格约束,未来的调查是专门设计用于干涉仪模式下的强度映射}。在这里,我们调查的约束条件,可从单碟模式下操作的调查,\rev{using the combined power spectrum and bispectrum signal}。在功率谱的情况下,单碟调查通常优于干涉仪调查。我们发现,相反的双谱:单碟调查是没有竞争力的干涉仪模式设计的调查。

Probing cosmic anisotropy with gravitational waves as standard sirens
引力波(GW)作为一种标准的警报信号,直接由引力波波形确定光度距离,而不需要参考特定的宇宙学模型,其红移可以通过中子双星和大质量黑洞双星(MBHB)的GW事件等电磁对应物单独获得。为了考察标准海妖在多大程度上能够再现GW探测器典型配置的标准海妖事件模拟数据中所写的假定偶极各向异性,我们发现:(1)对于不同MBHB模型的激光干涉空间天线,在5年的观测中,在$3σ$置信水平(C.L.)并且偶极方向可以在$2σ$ C.L.处大致被约束在$20\%$周围,(2)对于不小于$0.03$标准siren事件的Einstein望远镜,在$3σ$ C. L.处,宇宙各向同性可以被排除.如果偶极振幅大于$0.06$,则偶极方向可以在$3σ$ C.L.处被约束在$20\%$内。(3)对于不小于$0.1$标准海妖事件的分赫兹干涉仪引力波天文台,在$3σ$ C. L.对于大于$0.03$的偶极振幅,偶极方向甚至可以在$10\%$ C.L.如果偶极振幅大于$0.07$。我们的工作显示了从标准的siren方法的约束能力对宇宙各向异性的前景。
