摘要:
致密双星并合产生的引力波(GWs)编码了GW源的绝对光度距离。一旦知道GW源的红移,就可以利用距离-红移关系来约束宇宙学参数。获得红移的一种方法是通过GW观测对GW源进行定位,然后利用星系星表,通过对潜在宿主星系红移信息的统计分析来确定红移,这种方法通常被称为暗汽笛方法。第三代(3G)GW探测器计划在2030年代投入运行,将观测到大量的致密双星并合事件。将这些GW事件用作暗汽笛需要来自未来巡天项目的高质量星系星表。中国空间站望远镜(CSST)将于2024年发射,将在17500平方度的巡天区域内观测数十亿个星系,红移最高可达z~4,提供测光和光谱星系星表。在这项工作中,我们模拟了CSST星系星表和来自3G GW探测器的5年GW数据,并将它们结合起来推断哈勃常数(H_0)。我们的结果表明,H_0的测量精度可以达到亚百分比水平,满足精确宇宙学的标准。我们得出结论,CSST与3G GW探测器之间的协同作用在测量哈勃常数方面具有重要意义。
英文摘要:
Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences encode the absolute luminosity distances of GW sources. Once the redshifts of GW sources are known, one can use the distance-redshift relation to constrain cosmological parameters. One way to obtain the redshifts is to localize GW sources by GW observations and then use galaxy catalogs to determine redshifts from a statistical analysis of redshift information of the potential host galaxies, commonly referred to as the dark siren method. The third-generation (3G) GW detectors are planned to work in the 2030s and will observe numerous compact binary coalescences. Using these GW events as dark sirens requires high-quality galaxy catalogs from future sky survey projects. The China Space Station Telescope (CSST) will be launched in 2024 and will observe billions of galaxies within a 17500 deg$^2$ survey area with redshift up to $z\sim 4$, providing photometric and spectroscopic galaxy catalogs. In this work, we simulate the CSST galaxy catalogs and the 5-year GW data from the 3G GW detectors and combine them to infer the Hubble constant ($H_0$). Our results show that the measurement precision of $H_0$ could reach the sub-percent level, meeting the standard of precision cosmology. We conclude that the synergy between CSST and the 3G GW detectors is of great significance in measuring the Hubble constant.
