中子星中的布谷鸟蛋:LIGO能听到来自暗区的啁啾声吗?
Cuckoo's Eggs in Neutron Stars: Can LIGO Hear Chirps from the Dark Sector?
摘要:
我们详细探讨的可能性,引力波信号从二进制inspirals的影响,一个新的力量,耦合只对暗物质粒子。我们讨论的影响,新的力之间的二元合作伙伴,以及辐射的力载体。我们确定了许多限制任何这样的情况下,最终得出的结论是,由于这样的力量的动力学的二进制inspirals的可观察到的影响是不可能的,如果暗物质是在普通的恒星演化。限制来自于天体必须能够在足够小的半径上收集和束缚足够数量的暗物质粒子,来自于这样收集的粒子在另一颗中子星存在的情况下仍然束缚在中子星上的要求,以及来自于理论允许老的中子星存在并保留它们的电荷的要求。因此,我们表明,任何偏离广义相对论的预测中观察到的双吸气必须是由于吸气对象本身的材料特性,如潮汐变形,真正的第五力耦合到重子,或非标准的生产机制的暗物质核心的中子星。后一种可能的情况包括在奇异的中子衰变中产生暗物质,或者在早期宇宙中形成致密的暗物质物体,这些物体后来成为恒星形成的种子或被恒星捕获。
英文摘要:
We explore in detail the possibility that gravitational wave signals from binary inspirals are affected by a new force that couples only to dark matter particles. We discuss the impact of both the new force acting between the binary partners as well as radiation of the force carrier. We identify numerous constraints on any such scenario, ultimately concluding that observable effects on the dynamics of binary inspirals due to such a force are not possible if the dark matter is accrued during ordinary stellar evolution. Constraints arise from the requirement that the astronomical body be able to collect and bind at small enough radius an adequate number of dark matter particles, from the requirement that the particles thus collected remain bound to neutron stars in the presence of another neutron star, and from the requirement that the theory allows old neutron stars to exist and retain their charge. Thus, we show that any deviation from the predictions of general relativity observed in binary inspirals must be due either to the material properties of the inspiraling objects themselves, such as a tidal deformability, to a true fifth force coupled to baryons, or to a non-standard production mechanism for the dark matter cores of neutron stars. Viable scenarios of the latter type include production of dark matter in exotic neutron decays, or the formation of compact dark matter objects in the early Universe that later seed star formation or are captured by stars.
