利用脉冲星群探测引力波

Detection of Gravitational Waves through Observations of a Group of Pulsars

Alexander E. Rodin

摘要:

本文提出了一种利用毫秒双星观测探测引力波的新方法。与通常的方法相比,基于通过排除可能的失真因素来提高脉冲到达时间的精度,我们的方法假设即使在最精确的观测数据中也不可避免地存在的加性相位噪声具有各种谱分量,这些谱分量具有特征幅度并且开始出现在不同的时间尺度上。我们使用“卡特彼勒”(奇异谱分析,SSA)的方法来分解信号到它的组件。我们的初始数据是六毫秒脉冲到达时间的残差。我们构造了角关联函数的组件的分解一个给定的数字,其理论形式的情况下,各向同性和均匀的引力波背景是已知的。单个分解组分显示与理论预期(相关系数$ρ=0.92\pm 0.10$)具有统计学显著性一致性。

英文摘要:

We suggest a new approach to the detection of gravitational waves using observations of a group of millisecond pulsars. In contrast to the usual method, based on increasing the accuracy of the arrival times of pulses by excluding possible distorting factors, our method supposes that the additive phase noise that is inevitably present even in the most accurate observational data has various spectral components, which have characteristic amplitudes and begin to appear on different time scales. We use the "Caterpillar" (Singular Spectral Analysis, SSA) method to decompose the signal into its components. Our initial data are the residuals of the pulse arrival times for six millisecond pulsars. We constructed the angular correlation function for components of the decomposition of a given number, whose theoretical form for the case of an isotropic and homogeneous gravitational-wave background is known. The individual decomposition components show a statistically significant agreement with the theoretical expectations (correlation coefficient $ρ=0.92\pm 0.10$).
