摘要:

引力波与电磁波的观测提供了一种测量哈勃常数的方法,也被称为亮塞壬法。人们对这种方法寄予了很大的希望,希望它能仲裁哈勃望远镜的张力。在这项研究中,我们应用模拟工具\GWT \,和aligo的设计背景建模,模拟明亮的警报目录的亚阈值双中子星合并与潜在的污染,从噪声和引力波和电磁配对之间的。用贝叶斯方法从模拟星表中推导出了哈勃常数等宇宙学参数。通过仿真研究,我们得出以下结论:1)随着信噪比阈值的降低,$H_0$的测量误差减小(或相当于$P_{\rm astro}$)在$P_{\rm astro} \gtrsim $ 0.1的区域中,而推断的最可能的$H_0$倾向于偏向更大的值;(2)其它高阶宇宙学参数如$Ω_{m}$即使在亚阈星表下也不受约束。我们还讨论了将引力波探测器网络加入到仿真工具中以及电磁对应物的后续效率仿真,这将改善我们未来的工作。

英文摘要:

Gravitational waves observation with electromagnetic counterparts provides an approach to measure the Hubble constant which is also known as the bright siren method. Great hope has been put into this method to arbitrate the Hubble tension. In this study, we apply the simulation tool \GWT\, and modeling of the aLIGO-design background to simulate the bright siren catalogues of sub-threshold double neutron star mergers with potential contamination from noise and dis-pairing between gravitational waves and electromagnetic counterparts. The Hubble constant and other cosmology parameters are thus inferred from the simulated catalogues with a Bayesian method. From our simulation study, we reach the following conclusions: 1) the measurement error of the $H_0$ decreases with a lower signal-to-noise ratio threshold (or equivalently the $P_{\rm astro}$) in the region where $P_{\rm astro} \gtrsim $ 0.1, while the inferred most probable $H_0$ trends to bias towards larger values; and 2) other higher order cosmological parameters such as $Ω_{m}$ remain unconstrained even with the sub-threshold catalogues. We also discuss adding the network of the gravitational wave detectors to the simulation tool and the electromagnetic counterparts follow-up efficiency simulation, which will improve our work in the future.
