摘要:

我们研究了Damour和Esposito-Farèse(DEF)的标量张量引力,它预言了中子星(NS)在非微扰强场区的非平凡现象。而不是解决修改后的Tolman-Oppenheimer-Escheroff方程,我们构建降阶代理模型,在pySTGROM包中编码,预测NS半径,质量和有效标量耦合到其中心密度的关系。我们的模型在$\sim1\%$水平上是准确的,并且将大规模计算的速度提高了两个数量级。作为一个应用程序,我们使用pySTGROM和马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗技术来约束DEF理论中的参数,具有五个定时良好的二进制双螺旋,二进制NS(BNS)inspiral GW 170817,和一个假设的BNS inspiral在先进的LIGO和下一代GW探测器。在未来,随着更多的双星和BNS合并被检测到,我们的代理模型将有助于约束强场重力与必要的速度和精度。

英文摘要:

We investigate the scalar-tensor gravity of Damour and Esposito-Farèse (DEF), which predicts non-trivial phenomena in the nonperturbative strong-field regime for neutron stars (NSs). Instead of solving the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations, we construct reduced-order surrogate models, coded in the pySTGROM package, to predict the relations of a NS radius, mass, and effective scalar coupling to its central density. Our models are accurate at $\sim1\%$ level and speed up large-scale calculations by two orders of magnitude. As an application, we use pySTGROM and Markov-chain Monte Carlo techniques to constrain parameters in the DEF theory, with five well-timed binary pulsars, the binary NS (BNS) inspiral GW170817, and a hypothetical BNS inspiral in the Advanced LIGO and next-generation GW detectors. In the future, as more binary pulsars and BNS mergers are detected, our surrogate models will be helpful in constraining strong-field gravity with essential speed and accuracy.
