摘要:

最近在塞弗特1星系SDSSJ 1430 $+$ 2303的光变曲线中观察到的啁啾信号可以用银河系中心的一个后期螺旋式超大质量双星黑洞(SMBBH)系统来解释,该系统将在不久的将来合并(或者可能已经合并)。对于合并SMBBH场景,SDSSJ 1430 $+$ 2303可以是具有记忆(BWM)的非线性引力波(GW)爆发的源,这可以为未来的脉冲星定时阵列(PTA)观测提供有希望的目标。在这项工作中,我们调查的前景,检测从SDSSJ 1430 $+$ 2303由国际PTA(IPTA)和FAST-PTA在未来$5$年的BWM信号。首先提出了搜索该目标信号的策略,包括毫秒级搜索器的选择和观测时间的分配。然后,基于所提出的策略对PTA观测值进行了仿真,得到了考虑SMBBH参数的不确定性以及所选MSP的白噪声和红噪声的情况下,BWM信号的网络信噪比和参数估计误差的概率密度函数。我们的研究结果表明,虽然IPTA可以勉强检测到的BWM在$5$年,快速PTA可以检测到它具有显着更高的置信度。此外,存档的IPTA数据是重要的,在估计合并时间的SMBBH,结合FAST-PTA数据。这项工作可以作为未来PTA观测和SDSSJ 1430 $+$ 2303和类似系统的多信使研究的指导。

英文摘要:

The recently observed chirping signature in the light curves of Seyfert 1 galaxy SDSSJ1430$+$2303 could be explained by a late-inspiralling supermassive binary black hole (SMBBH) system in the galactic center, which will merge in the near future (or could have merged already). For the merging SMBBH scenario, SDSSJ1430$+$2303 can be a source of nonlinear gravitational wave (GW) burst with memory (BWM), which may provide a promising target for future pulsar timing array (PTA) observations. In this work, we investigate the prospects for detecting the BWM signal from SDSSJ1430$+$2303 by the International PTA (IPTA) and FAST-PTA in the next $5$ years. We firstly propose strategies on searching for this target signal, including the selection of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) and the distribution of observation time. Then we simulate PTA observations based on the proposed strategies and obtain the probability density functions of the network signal-to-noise ratio and parameter-estimation errors of the BWM signal, considering the uncertainties of parameters of the SMBBH and both white and red noises of the selected MSPs. Our result shows that although IPTA can marginally detect the BWM in $5$ years, FAST-PTA can detect it with significantly higher confidence. Moreover, the archived IPTA data is important in estimating the merger time of the SMBBH, when combined with the FAST-PTA data. This work can serve as a guidance for future PTA observations and multi-messenger studies on SDSSJ1430$+$2303 and similar systems.
