中子星螺旋和合并的天体物理意义

Astrophysical Implications of Neutron Star Inspiral and Coalescence

John L. Friedman, Nikolaos Stergioulas

摘要:

在引力波中观测到的两颗中子星的第一个螺旋非常接近,允许同时观测引力波和电磁波,这是几年来没有预料到的。他们的合并,随后是伽马射线暴和千诺瓦,在电磁望远镜的光谱波段被观察到。这些GW和电磁观测在理解短伽马射线暴、确定最重元素的起源和确定中子星的最大质量方面取得了巨大进展。从潮汐在引力波形上的印记和对X射线双星的观测中,人们可以提取出螺旋形中子星的半径和变形能力。半径、最大质量和因果关系一起约束了中子星状态方程,未来的约束可以来自合并后振荡的观测。我们有选择地回顾这些结果,用推导和估计来填充一些物理学。

英文摘要:

The first inspiral of two neutron stars observed in gravitational waves was remarkably close, allowing the kind of simultaneous gravitational wave and electromagnetic observation that had not been expected for several years. Their merger, followed by a gamma-ray burst and a kilonova, was observed across the spectral bands of electromagnetic telescopes. These GW and electromagnetic observations have led to dramatic advances in understanding short gamma-ray bursts; determining the origin of the heaviest elements; and determining the maximum mass of neutron stars. From the imprint of tides on the gravitational waveforms and from observations of X-ray binaries, one can extract the radius and deformability of inspiraling neutron stars. Together, the radius, maximum mass, and causality constrain the neutron-star equation of state, and future constraints can come from observations of post-merger oscillations. We selectively review these results, filling in some of the physics with derivations and estimates.
