AI总结:

本文通过模拟未来脉冲星计时观测,研究利用绕人马座A*运行的脉冲星探测熊蜂引力模型中黑洞矢量荷的可行性,发现5年观测可将矢量荷质量比约束到约10^-3,显著优于EHT现有约束并可与LISA预期相比。

摘要:

对围绕人马座A*(Sgr A*)运行的脉冲星进行计时,可为我们提供检验引力理论的独特机会。我们利用模拟的未来脉冲星计时观测,研究了在熊蜂引力模型中Sgr A*黑洞(BH)所携带矢量荷的可探测性。熊蜂黑洞的时空会对脉冲星的轨道动力学以及射电信号的光传播引入特征性改变。假设计时精度为1 ms,我们的模拟显示,对一颗轨道周期为$P_b\sim 0.5\\,{\rm yr}$、轨道偏心率为$e\sim 0.8$的脉冲星进行5年观测,可以探测到小至$Q/M\sim 10^{-3}$的矢量荷质量比,这比事件视界望远镜(EHT)观测给出的当前约束要严格得多,并且与激光干涉仪空间天线(LISA)对极端质量比旋近系统的预期约束相当。

英文摘要:

Timing a pulsar orbiting around Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) can provide us with a unique opportunity of testing gravity theories. We investigate the detectability of a vector charge carried by the Sgr A* black hole (BH) in the bumblebee gravity model with simulated future pulsar timing observations. The spacetime of a bumblebee BH introduces characteristic changes to the orbital dynamics of the pulsar and the light propagation of radio signals. Assuming a timing precision of 1 ms, our simulation shows that a 5-yr observation of a pulsar with an orbital period $P_b\sim 0.5\,{\rm yr}$ and an orbital eccentricity $e\sim 0.8$ can probe a vector charge-to-mass ratio as small as $Q/M\sim 10^{-3}$, which is much more stringent than the current constraint from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations, and comparable to the prospective constraint from extreme mass-ratio inspirals with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).
