用BAM程序模拟黑洞中子星:第一次试验和模拟

Black-Hole Neutron Star Simulations with the BAM code: First Tests and Simulations

Swami Vivekanandji Chaurasia, Tim Dietrich, Stephan Rosswog

摘要:

LIGO-Virgo-Kagra协作组首次探测到黑洞-中子星合并(GW 200105和GW 200115)标志着一项重大的科学突破。对合并前后信号的物理解释需要对观测结果和理论模拟结果进行仔细的交叉审查。在这里,我们提出了第一套黑洞-中子星的模拟,得到了与数值相对论代码BAM。我们的初始数据是使用公共LORENE光谱库,采用切除的黑洞内部。相比之下,BAM使用移动穿刺量规进行进化。因此,我们需要用光滑的初始数据“填充”黑洞内部,以使双星系统及时演化。该过程引入了约束违反,使得演化系统的约束阻尼特性对于增加模拟的准确性,特别是减少杂散质心漂移是必不可少的。在BAM中,我们发展的Z4 c方程,我们比较我们的引力波的结果与SXS合作和SACRA代码获得的结果。虽然我们发现在合并的时刻与参考解和相位差$\lesssim 0.5$ rad大体上良好的一致性,但是在我们的模拟中缺乏干净的收敛顺序不允许适当的误差量化。最后,我们提出了一组不同的初始条件,探讨如何合并的黑洞中子星系统依赖于所涉及的质量,自旋和状态方程。

英文摘要:

The first detections of black hole - neutron star mergers (GW200105 and GW200115) by the LIGO-Virgo-Kagra Collaboration mark a significant scientific breakthrough. The physical interpretation of pre- and post-merger signals requires careful cross-examination between observational and theoretical modelling results. Here we present the first set of black hole - neutron star simulations that were obtained with the numerical-relativity code BAM. Our initial data are constructed using the public LORENE spectral library which employs an excision of the black hole interior. BAM, in contrast, uses the moving-puncture gauge for the evolution. Therefore, we need to ``stuff'' the black hole interior with smooth initial data to evolve the binary system in time. This procedure introduces constraint violations such that the constraint damping properties of the evolution system are essential to increase the accuracy of the simulation and in particular to reduce spurious center-of-mass drifts. Within BAM we evolve the Z4c equations and we compare our gravitational-wave results with those of the SXS collaboration and results obtained with the SACRA code. While we find generally good agreement with the reference solutions and phase differences $\lesssim 0.5$ rad at the moment of merger, the absence of a clean convergence order in our simulations does not allow for a proper error quantification. We finally present a set of different initial conditions to explore how the merger of black hole neutron star systems depends on the involved masses, spins, and equations of state.
