光子天文学如何影响对连续引力波的搜索

How photon astronomy affects searches for continuous gravitational waves

Benjamin J. Owen

摘要:

由于其计算的局限性,搜索连续的引力波(GW)时,观测光子天文学和理论天体物理学的通知显着更敏感。从光子天文学推断的GW发射的间接上限表明哪些物体对GW搜索更感兴趣,并且还设置了GW搜索需要击败的灵敏度里程碑,以被认为是GW天文学。如何解释GW结果取决于以前的间接限制和天体物理GW发射机制的理论。我描述了这些问题之间的相互作用的四种类型的连续GW搜索,并显示光子天文学家可以帮助GW天文学的不断增长的领域,现在和不久的将来。

英文摘要:

Due to their computational limitations, searches for continuous gravitational waves (GW) are significantly more sensitive when informed by observational photon astronomy and theoretical astrophysics. Indirect upper limits on GW emission inferred from photon astronomy indicate which objects are more interesting for GW searches, and also set sensitivity milestones which GW searches need to beat to be considered GW astronomy. How GW results are interpreted depends on previous indirect limits and the theory of astrophysical GW emission mechanisms. I describe the interplay between these issues for the four types of continuous GW search, and show how photon astronomers can help the growing field of GW astronomy now and in the near future.
