摘要:

鉴于引力波探测技术的最新进展,利用激光干涉仪空间天线(LISA)探测和表征引力波背景(GWB)是一种现实的可能性。为了评估LISA卫星网络在天空中重建不同角度尺度和不同方向的各向异性的能力,我们开发了一个基于最优二次估计的地图制作器。所得到的地图是在广泛的频率范围内集成的天空上的GWB强度的极大似然表示。我们测试的算法重建已知的输入地图与不同的输入分布和不同的频率范围。我们发现,在一个最佳的情况下,很好地理解噪声和高频,高信噪比信号,LISA可以探测的最大尺度是$\ell_{\rm max} \lesssim 15$。地图制作器还允许测试LISA噪声的方向依赖性,提供我们可能期望的方向天空灵敏度的洞察力。

英文摘要:

Given the recent advances in gravitational-wave detection technologies, the detection and characterisation of gravitational-wave backgrounds (GWBs) with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a real possibility. To assess the abilities of the LISA satellite network to reconstruct anisotropies of different angular scales and in different directions on the sky, we develop a map-maker based on an optimal quadratic estimator. The resulting maps are maximum likelihood representations of the GWB intensity on the sky integrated over a broad range of frequencies. We test the algorithm by reconstructing known input maps with different input distributions and over different frequency ranges. We find that, in an optimal scenario of well understood noise and high frequency, high SNR signals, the maximum scales LISA may probe are $\ell_{\rm max} \lesssim 15$. The map-maker also allows to test the directional dependence of LISA noise, providing insight on the directional sky sensitivity we may expect.
