没有证据表明残余引力波的蓝倾功率谱

No evidence for the blue-tilted power spectrum of relic gravitational waves

Qing-Guo Huang, Sai Wang

摘要:

本文利用BICEP 2/Keck阵列和Planck(BKP)以及激光干涉引力波天文台(LIGO)的观测数据,对遗迹引力波的功率谱倾斜进行了约束。根据BKP B模式的数据,张量倾斜的约束条件为$68%$置信水平下的$n_t=0.66^{+1.83}_{-1.44}$。通过进一步增加LIGO对引力波能量密度的上限,约束在$68%$置信水平上变为$n_t=-0.76^{+1.37}_{-0.52}$。我们的结论是,没有证据表明一个蓝倾斜的遗迹引力波的功率谱和张量功率谱的指数的符号是兼容的数据。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we constrain the tilt of the power spectrum of relic gravitational waves by combining the data from BICEP2/Keck array and Planck (BKP) and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Waves Observatory (LIGO). From the data of BKP B-modes, the constraint on the tensor tilt is $n_t=0.66^{+1.83}_{-1.44}$ at the $68%$ confidence level. By further adding the LIGO upper limit on the energy density of gravitational waves, the constraint becomes $n_t=-0.76^{+1.37}_{-0.52}$ at the $68%$ confidence level. We conclude that there is no evidence for a blue-tilted power spectrum of relic gravitational waves and either sign of the index of tensor power spectrum is compatible with the data.
