摘要:

探讨了第三代地基探测器(如宇宙探测器和爱因斯坦望远镜)对引力波高阶模的探测。利用基于激光干涉引力波天文台(LIGO)和Virgo(GWTC-2)在第二个引力波目录中报告的事件的二元黑洞的天体物理种群,结合二元黑洞合并的红移演化的Madau-Dickinson模型,我们使用由三个第三代探测器组成的网络来评估这些高阶模的可探测性。我们发现,两个次主导模式[(3,3)和(4,4)]可以检测到约30%的人口与网络的信噪比为3或更高,和近10%的来源,五个主导模式将是可检测的。此外,还研究了双星的质量比和轨道倾角对观测者视线探测各种模式的影响。对于LIGO-Virgo目录中的一些选定事件,我们确定了如果第三代探测器在记录这些事件时运行,则会检测到的模式。我们还计算了Voyager探测器对高阶模的探测能力,发现只有$\sim$ 6%和2%的可探测总体分别具有(3,3)和(4,4)模的相关探测。在3G时代观察这些高阶模式将对这些探测器可能产生的科学产生巨大影响,从天体物理学和宇宙学到强场引力测试。

英文摘要:

Detection of higher order modes of gravitational waves in third-generation (3G) ground-based detectors such as Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope is explored. Using the astrophysical population of binary black holes based on events reported in the second gravitational wave catalog by Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo (GWTC-2), in conjunction with the Madau-Dickinson model for redshift evolution of the binary black hole mergers, we assess the detectability of these higher order modes using a network consisting of three third-generation detectors. We find that the two subleading modes [(3,3) and (4,4)] can be detected in approximately 30% of the population with a network signal-to-noise ratio of 3 or more, and for nearly 10% of the sources, the five leading modes will be detectable. Besides, a study concerning the effect of binary's mass ratio and its orbital inclination with the observer's line-of-sight in detecting various modes is presented. For a few selected events of the LIGO-Virgo catalog, we identify the modes that would have been detected if a third-generation detector was operational when these events were recorded. We also compute the detectability of higher modes by Voyager and find that only $\sim$ 6 and 2% of the detectable population will have an associated detection of (3,3) and (4,4) modes, respectively. Observing these higher order modes in the 3G era would have a huge impact on the science possible with these detectors ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to testing strong-field gravity.
