研究黑洞中子星合并的引力波和射电辐射的探测率和推论

Investigating the detection rates and inference of gravitational-wave and radio emission from black hole neutron star mergers

Oliver M. Boersma, Joeri van Leeuwen

摘要:

黑洞中子星(BHNS)合并最近被发现通过其引力波(GW)的发射。BHNS合并也可以产生电磁(EM)发射作为短伽马射线暴(sGRB),和/或sGRB余辉后,与circummerer介质相互作用。在这里,我们预测与BHNS合并相关的sGRB无线电余辉的平方公里阵列阶段1(SKA 1)的预期检测率。我们还探讨了多信使分析的好处,推断合并二进制的属性。我们模拟人口的BHNS合并,并估计他们的sGRB余辉通量,以获得与SKA 1的检测率。我们研究了这个速率如何依赖于GW探测器的灵敏度,主黑洞(BH)的自旋,和中子星的状态方程。然后,我们进行了多信使贝叶斯推断研究的基准BHNS合并。我们模拟了它的sGRB余辉和GW发射,并考虑了系统误差。当前一代GW检测器的组合GW和无线电检测的预期速率可能较低。由于未来GW探测器(如爱因斯坦望远镜)的灵敏度大大提高,sGRB定位和无线电探测的机会大大增加。然而,BH自旋的未知分布对探测率有很大的影响,并且它是一个很大的不确定性来源。此外,对于我们的基准BHNS合并,我们能够推断出的二进制源参数以及sGRB余辉的参数,同时结合GW和无线电数据。无线电数据提供了有用的额外信息的二进制参数,如质量比,但这是有限的系统误差涉及。更好地理解系统学将进一步增加可以从该无线电数据中提取的关于二进制参数的信息量。

英文摘要:

Black hole neutron star (BHNS) mergers have recently been detected through their gravitational-wave (GW) emission. BHNS mergers could also produce electromagnetic (EM) emission as a short gamma-ray burst (sGRB), and/or an sGRB afterglow upon interaction with the circummerger medium. Here, we make predictions for the expected detection rates with the Square Kilometre Array Phase 1 (SKA1) of sGRB radio afterglows associated with BHNS mergers. We also investigate the benefits of a multimessenger analysis in inferring the properties of the merging binary. We simulate a population of BHNS mergers and estimate their sGRB afterglow flux to obtain the detection rates with SKA1. We investigate how this rate depends on the GW detector sensitivity, the primary black hole (BH) spin, and the neutron star equation of state. We then perform a multimessenger Bayesian inference study on a fiducial BHNS merger. We simulate its sGRB afterglow and GW emission and take systematic errors into account. The expected rates of a combined GW and radio detection with the current generation GW detectors are likely low. Due to the much increased sensitivity of future GW detectors like the Einstein Telescope, the chances of an sGRB localisation and radio detection increase substantially. The unknown distribution of the BH spin has a big influence on the detection rates, however, and it is a large source of uncertainty. Furthermore, for our fiducial BHNS merger we are able to infer both the binary source parameters as well as the parameters of the sGRB afterglow simultaneously when combining the GW and radio data. The radio data provides useful extra information on the binary parameters such as the mass ratio but this is limited by the systematic errors involved. A better understanding of the systematics will further increase the amount of information on the binary parameters that can be extracted from this radio data.
