摘要:

在强场区域中,标量-张量引力理论的统计可靠性检验通常涉及计算密集型计算。在这项研究中,我们建立了一个简化的代理模型的标量张量引力的Damour和Esposito-Farèse(DEF)与自发标量化现象发展的中子星(NS)。该模型使我们能够执行一个快速和全面的预测NS属性,包括质量,半径,转动惯量,有效的标量耦合,和两个额外的耦合参数。我们在pySTGROMX包中编码模型,作为我们以前工作的扩展,它将计算速度提高了两个甚至三个数量级,但仍然保持$\sim1\%$的精度。利用该模型,可以方便地计算出双星定时中的所有后开普勒参数,为我们对DEF理论进行全面的约束提供了一种快捷的途径。我们执行马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗模拟的模型,以约束的DEF理论的参数与良好的定时的二进制序列。利用5颗NS-白矮星和3颗NS-NS双星,我们得到了迄今为止对DEF理论最严格的约束。我们的工作提供了一个公共的工具,快速评估的NS的导出参数,以测试在强场区的重力。

英文摘要:

Statistically sound tests of scalar-tensor gravity theories in the strong-field regime usually involves computationally intensive calculations. In this study, we construct a reduced order surrogate model for the scalar-tensor gravity of Damour and Esposito-Farèse (DEF) with spontaneous scalarization phenomena developed for neutron stars (NSs). This model allows us to perform a rapid and comprehensive prediction of NS properties, including mass, radius, moment of inertia, effective scalar coupling, and two extra coupling parameters. We code the model in the pySTGROMX package, as an extension of our previous work, that speeds up the calculations at two and even three orders of magnitude and yet still keeps accuracy of $\sim1\%$. Using the model, we can calculate all the post-Keplerian parameters in the timing of binary pulsars conveniently, which provides a quick approach for us to place comprehensive constraints on the DEF theory. We perform Markov-chain Monte Carlo simulations with the model to constrain the parameters of the DEF theory with well-timed binary pulsars. Utilizing five NS-white dwarf and three NS-NS binaries, we obtain the most stringent constraints on the DEF theory up to now. Our work provides a public tool for quick evaluation of NSs' derived parameters to test gravity in the strong-field regime.
