radio telescopes作为高频引力波探测器的潜力

Potential of radio telescopes as high-frequency gravitational wave detectors

Valerie Domcke, Camilo Garcia-Cely

摘要:

在磁场存在的情况下,引力波转换成光子,反之亦然。我们证明,这种转换导致宇宙微波背景(CMB),它可以作为一个检测器MHz到GHz的引力波源再电离前活跃的失真。射电望远镜EDGES的测量值可以被视为引力波振幅的一个界限,即$h_c < 10^{-21} (10^{-12})$在78 MHz时的最强(最弱)宇宙磁场,这是当前天体物理学和宇宙学约束所允许的。类似地,ARCADE 2的结果意味着在$3 - 30$ GHz处存在$h_c < 10^{-24} (10^{-14})$。对于最强的磁场,这些约束超过了目前的实验室约束约7个数量级。未来21厘米天文学的进展可能会令人信服地将这些界限推到宇宙学约束对引力波总能量密度的敏感度之下。

英文摘要:

In the presence of magnetic fields, gravitational waves are converted into photons and vice versa. We demonstrate that this conversion leads to a distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which can serve as a detector for MHz to GHz gravitational wave sources active before reionization. The measurements of the radio telescope EDGES can be cast as a bound on the gravitational wave amplitude, $h_c < 10^{-21} (10^{-12})$ at 78 MHz, for the strongest (weakest) cosmic magnetic fields allowed by current astrophysical and cosmological constraints. Similarly, the results of ARCADE 2 imply $h_c < 10^{-24} (10^{-14})$ at $3 - 30$ GHz. For the strongest magnetic fields, these constraints exceed current laboratory constraints by about seven orders of magnitude. Future advances in 21cm astronomy may conceivably push these bounds below the sensitivity of cosmological constraints on the total energy density of gravitational waves.
