Exploring compact binary populations with the Einstein Telescope

Neha Singh, Tomasz Bulik, Krzysztof Belczynski, Abbas Askar

摘要:

爱因斯坦望远镜(ET)是未来第三代宽带引力波探测器,预计在一年内将达到探测$\sim 10^5 - 10^6$双星黑洞(BBH)和探测$\sim 7 \times 10^4$双星中子星(BNS)的探测率。总质量为20 - 100 $M_{\odot}$的致密双星(典型的BH-BH或BH-NS双星)的合并将在红移$z\approx 20$甚至更高的位置可见,从而有助于理解第一批恒星诞生之前宇宙的黑暗时代。因此,ET将成为人口研究的重要工具。我们分析了紧凑的双星起源于恒星(i)人口(Pop)I+II,(ii)Pop III,(iii)球状星团(GC),与单一的ET仪器,使用ET-D的设计灵敏度的分析。我们估计的啁啾质量,红移,并合并率的函数红移这些类的紧凑的对象二进制的约束。我们的结论是,ET作为一个单一的仪器是能够检测和区分不同的紧凑的二进制人口分离的啁啾质量红移空间。虽然致密双星起源于恒星从Pop III是明确区分,由于在啁啾质量红移空间的分离,其他两个群体,Pop I+II,和GC,可以区分只有500检测,对应的观测时间为$\sim 1$小时。这种不同的致密双星群体的质量分布特征也可以估计与单一的ET仪器。

英文摘要:

The Einstein Telescope (ET), a wide-band, future third generation gravitational wave detector, is expected to have detection rates of $\sim 10^5 - 10^6$ binary black hole (BBH) detections and $\sim 7 \times 10^4$ binary neutron star (BNS) detections in one year. The coalescence of compact binaries with a total mass of 20 - 100 $M_{\odot}$, typical of BH-BH or BH-NS binaries, will be visible up to redshift $z\approx 20$ and even higher, thus facilitating the understanding of the dark era of the Universe preceding the birth of the first stars. The ET will therefore be a crucial instrument for population studies. We analysed the compact binaries originating in stars from (i) Population (Pop) I+II, (ii) Pop III, and (iii) globular clusters (GCs), with the single ET instrument, using the ET-D design sensitivity for the analysis. We estimated the constraints on the chirp mass, redshift, and merger rate as function of redshift for these classes of compact object binaries. We conclude that the ET as a single instrument is capable of detecting and distinguishing different compact binary populations separated in chirp mass - redshift space. While compact binaries originating in stars from Pop III are clearly distinguishable, owing to the separation in chirp mass - redshift space, the other two populations, Pop I+II, and GCs, can be distinguished with just 500 detections, corresponding to an observation time of $\sim 1$ hr. The mass distribution characteristics of such different compact binary populations can also be estimated with the single ET instrument.
