引力摄动和度规重建:应用于Schwarzschild黑洞偏心轨道的推广齐次解方法

Gravitational perturbations and metric reconstruction: Method of extended homogeneous solutions applied to eccentric orbits on a Schwarzschild black hole

Seth Hopper, Charles R. Evans

摘要:

本文计算了小质量黑洞在偏心轨道上对大质量史瓦西黑洞的引力扰动,并利用数值计算的扰动解出了度规。计算最初是在频域中,并提供傅里叶谐波模式的规范不变的主函数,满足非齐次版本的Regge-Wheeler和Zerilli方程。这些引力主方程具有特定的奇异源,包含δ函数和δ函数的导数项。我们证明在本文中成功应用的方法扩展齐次解决方案,最近开发的巴拉克,奥利和萨戈,处理这种类型的源项。该方法允许变换回时域,表示字段的部分模式和的指数收敛。这种快速收敛甚至在质点穿过的$r$区域中也成立,并且包括质点本身的时间依赖性位置。我们提出的模式计算的数值结果,某些轨道参数,包括高度精确的能量和角动量通量在无穷远和黑洞事件视界。然后,我们解决的问题重建度量扰动振幅的主函数,后者是弱解的一种特殊形式的波动方程。代表Regge-Wheeler规范中度规的球谐振幅本身可以看作是弱解。它们通常是(1)在质点的瞬时位置处邻接的两个可微解(通常具有连续性$C^{-1}$的结果)和(2)(在某些情况下)具有可计算的时间依赖振幅的δ函数分布项的组合。

英文摘要:

We calculate the gravitational perturbations produced by a small mass in eccentric orbit about a much more massive Schwarzschild black hole and use the numerically computed perturbations to solve for the metric. The calculations are initially made in the frequency domain and provide Fourier-harmonic modes for the gauge-invariant master functions that satisfy inhomogeneous versions of the Regge-Wheeler and Zerilli equations. These gravitational master equations have specific singular sources containing both delta function and derivative-of-delta function terms. We demonstrate in this paper successful application of the method of extended homogeneous solutions, developed recently by Barack, Ori, and Sago, to handle source terms of this type. The method allows transformation back to the time domain, with exponential convergence of the partial mode sums that represent the field. This rapid convergence holds even in the region of $r$ traversed by the point mass and includes the time-dependent location of the point mass itself. We present numerical results of mode calculations for certain orbital parameters, including highly accurate energy and angular momentum fluxes at infinity and at the black hole event horizon. We then address the issue of reconstructing the metric perturbation amplitudes from the master functions, the latter being weak solutions of a particular form to the wave equations. The spherical harmonic amplitudes that represent the metric in Regge-Wheeler gauge can themselves be viewed as weak solutions. They are in general a combination of (1) two differentiable solutions that adjoin at the instantaneous location of the point mass (a result that has order of continuity $C^{-1}$ typically) and (2) (in some cases) a delta function distribution term with a computable time-dependent amplitude.
