中子星并合质量比的一个更严格的约束条件GW170817

A more stringent constraint on the mass ratio of binary neutron star merger GW170817

摘要:

最近,LIGO-Virgo合作报告了他们首次探测到来自低质量致密双星合并GW 170817的引力波(GW)信号,这很可能是由于双中子星(NS)合并。只有GW信号时,双星的啁啾质量被精确地限制在$1.188^{+0.004}_{-0.002}~\rm{M_{\odot}}$内,但质量比被松散地限制在$0.4-1$范围内,因此得到了单个NS质量($0.86~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_1<1.36~\rm{M_{\odot}}$和$1.36~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_2<2.26~\rm{M_{\odot}}$)的非常粗略的估计。在这里,我们建议,如果一个可以约束的动态喷出物的质量通过执行kilonova建模的光学/IR数据,通过利用动态喷出物的质量和NS二进制的质量比之间的经验关系,可以放置一个更严格的约束系统的质量比。例如,考虑到红色的“kilonova”组件是由动力喷出物,我们达到了严格的约束范围内的质量比$0.46-0.59$。或者,如果蓝色“kilonova”组件由动态喷出物提供动力,则质量比将被限制在$0.53-0.67$的范围内。总的来说,这种多信使方法可以将GW 170817系统的质量比缩小到$0.46-0.67$的范围,这给出了比纯GW信号分析(即$0.90~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_1<1.16~{\rm M_{\odot}}$和$1.61~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_2<2.11~{\rm M_{\odot}}$)更精确的单个NS质量的估计。

英文摘要:

Recently, the LIGO-Virgo collaboration reported their first detection of gravitational wave (GW) signals from a low mass compact binary merger GW170817, which is most likely due to a double neutron star (NS) merger. With the GW signals only, the chirp mass of the binary is precisely constrained to $1.188^{+0.004}_{-0.002}~\rm{M_{\odot}}$, but the mass ratio is loosely constrained in the range $0.4-1$, so that a very rough estimation of the individual NS masses ($0.86~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_1<1.36~\rm{M_{\odot}}$ and $1.36~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_2<2.26~\rm{M_{\odot}}$) was obtained. Here we propose that if one can constrain the dynamical ejecta mass through performing kilonova modeling of the optical/IR data, by utilizing an empirical relation between the dynamical ejecta mass and the mass ratio of NS binaries, one may place a more stringent constraint on the mass ratio of the system. For instance, considering that the red "kilonova" component is powered by the dynamical ejecta, we reach a tight constraint on the mass ratio in the range of $0.46-0.59$. Alternatively, if the blue "kilonova" component is powered by the dynamical ejecta, the mass ratio would be constrained in the range of $0.53-0.67$. Overall, such a multi-messenger approach could narrow down the mass ratio of GW170817 system to the range of $0.46-0.67$, which gives a more precise estimation of the individual NS mass than pure GW signal analysis, i.e. $0.90~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_1<1.16~{\rm M_{\odot}}$ and $1.61~{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_2<2.11~{\rm M_{\odot}}$.
