作为脉冲星定时阵列源的在QCD相变时来自MHD turbulence的引力波

Gravitational waves from MHD turbulence at the QCD phase transition as a source for Pulsar Timing Arrays

Alberto Roper Pol

摘要:

我们建议,最近的观测报告的不同脉冲星定时阵列(PTA)的合作(即~ IPTA、EPTA、PPTA和NANOGrav)可以对应于由早期宇宙中的湍流源产生的随机引力波背景(SGWB),特别是由于原始磁场引起的磁流体动力学(MHD)湍流。我讨论了最近的MHD湍流的数值模拟结果,并提出了一个分析模板的SGWB验证的模拟。我们使用这个模板来约束磁场参数使用PTA协作报告的结果。最后,我们比较了从PTA获得的原始磁场与费米大面积望远镜(LAT)观测到的blazar信号,从超高能宇宙射线,从宇宙微波背景的约束。我们表明,在量子色动力学相变的尺度上产生的非螺旋原始磁场与这样的约束是兼容的,它可以另外提供一个磁场在重组,这将有助于减轻哈勃张力。

英文摘要:

We propose that the recent observations reported by the different Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) collaborations (i.e.~IPTA, EPTA, PPTA, and NANOGrav) of a common process over several pulsars could correspond to a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) produced by turbulent sources in the early universe, in particular due to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence induced by primordial magnetic fields. I discuss recent results of numerical simulations of MHD turbulence and present an analytical template of the SGWB validated by the simulations. We use this template to constrain the magnetic field parameters using the results reported by the PTA collaborations. Finally, we compare the constraints on the primordial magnetic fields obtained from PTA with those from blazar signals observed by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), from ultra high-energy cosmic rays, and from the cosmic microwave background. We show that a non-helical primordial magnetic field produced at the scale of the quantum chromodynamics phase transition is compatible with such constraints and it could additionally provide with a magnetic field at recombination that would help to alleviate the Hubble tension.
