利用强透镜重复快速射电暴寻找引力波

Searching for Gravitational Waves with Strongly Lensed Repeating Fast Radio Bursts

Noah Pearson, Cynthia Trendafilova, Joel Meyers

摘要:

自从快速射电暴(FRB)被偶然发现以来,它引起了观测者和理论家的极大关注。一种新的具有宽视场的射电望远镜使FRB观测的快速积累成为可能,证实了FRB起源于宇宙学距离。FRB的高发生率和新仪器的发展,以观察他们创造了机会,FRB被用于一系列的天体物理学和宇宙学研究。我们专注于罕见的,尚未被发现的,FRB的子集,经历反复爆发,并强烈引力透镜的介入结构。一个非常精确的时间的突发到达时间是可能的强透镜重复FRB,我们展示了这种时间精度如何使长波长引力波的搜索,包括那些来源于超大质量黑洞二进制系统。强透镜重复FRB爆发到达的时间对FRB宿主星系附近的引力波源很敏感,这可能位于宇宙学距离处,因此通过其他手段探测极具挑战性。强透镜FRB的定时也可以与脉冲星定时阵列数据相结合,以搜索穿过地球的引力波的相关时间延迟特性。

英文摘要:

Since their serendipitous discovery, Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) have garnered a great deal of attention from both observers and theorists. A new class of radio telescopes with wide fields of view have enabled a rapid accumulation of FRB observations, confirming that FRBs originate from cosmological distances. The high occurrence rate of FRBs and the development of new instruments to observe them create opportunities for FRBs to be utilized for a host of astrophysical and cosmological studies. We focus on the rare, and as yet undetected, subset of FRBs that undergo repeated bursts and are strongly gravitationally lensed by intervening structure. An extremely precise timing of burst arrival times is possible for strongly lensed repeating FRBs, and we show how this timing precision enables the search for long wavelength gravitational waves, including those sourced by supermassive black hole binary systems. The timing of burst arrival for strongly lensed repeating FRBs is sensitive to gravitational wave sources near the FRB host galaxy, which may lie at cosmological distances and would therefore be extremely challenging to detect by other means. Timing of strongly lensed FRBs can also be combined with pulsar timing array data to search for correlated time delays characteristic of gravitational waves passing through the Earth.
