用脉冲星定时阵列寻找超大质量双星黑洞的记忆和螺旋引力波

Search for Memory and Inspiral Gravitational Waves from Super-Massive Binary Black Holes with Pulsar Timing Arrays

Naoki Seto

摘要:

超大质量双黑洞并合是宇宙中最极端的事件之一,伴随着巨大的引力辐射能量释放。虽然合并事件的特征引力波(GW)频率远高于nHz制度的脉冲星定时阵列(PTA)的最佳,非线性GW的记忆可能是一个关键的合并事件与PTA检测的吸烟枪。在本文中,这个有趣的观察的基本方面进行了讨论SBBH,和他们的内存和inspiral GW的检测数量估计正在进行的和计划的PTA。我们发现,预期的检测数将小于单位的两种类型的信号,即使与平方公里阵列。我们还提供了各种缩放关系,这将是有用的研究从单个SBBH与PTA的GW的检测概率。

英文摘要:

The merger of a super-massive binary black hole (SBBH) is one of the most extreme events in the universe with a huge amount of energy released by gravitational radiation. Although the characteristic gravitational wave (GW) frequency around the merger event is far higher than the nHz regime optimal for pulsar timing arrays (PTAs), nonlinear GW memory might be a critical smoking gun of the merger event detectable with PTAs. In this paper, basic aspects of this interesting observation are discussed for SBBHs, and the detection numbers of their memory and inspiral GWs are estimated for ongoing and planned PTAs. We find that the expected detection number would be smaller than unity for the two-types of signals even with the Square Kilometer Array. We also provide various scaling relations that would be useful to study detection probabilities of GWs from individual SBBHs with PTAs.
