摘要:
规划未来引力波(GW)探测器及其构成网络的重要一步是评估其探测与参数估计能力,这是科学案例研究的基础。目前已提出或正在研发多种未来GW探测器,它们可能会并行运行和观测。这些探测器包括地面、月球和空间探测器。本文提出了GWFish,一种用于模拟GW探测器网络并基于Fisher矩阵近似计算测量不确定性的新软件。GWFish对探测器运动对PE的影响进行建模,并使得分析多频段场景成为可能,即由不同探测器在不同频段观测同一GW信号。我们展示了Einstein Telescope(ET)的几个示例,包括双中子星的 sky-localization 以及 ET 测量 GW 极化的能力。
英文摘要:
An important step in the planning of future gravitational-wave (GW) detectors and of the networks they will form is the estimation of their detection and parameter-estimation capabilities, which is the basis of science-case studies. Several future GW detectors have been proposed or are under development, which might also operate and observe in parallel. These detectors include terrestrial, lunar, and space-borne detectors. In this paper, we present GWFish, a new software to simulate GW detector networks and to calculate measurement uncertainties based on the Fisher-matrix approximation. GWFish models the impact of detector motion on PE and makes it possible to analyze multiband scenarios, i.e., observation of a GW signal by different detectors in different frequency bands. We showcase a few examples for the Einstein Telescope (ET) including the sky-localization of binary neutron stars, and ET's capability to measure the polarization of GWs.
