摘要:

天体测量学,即对恒星运动的精确测量,通过光子的空间偏转提供了一条研究低频引力波的替代途径,补充了依赖计时残差的脉冲星计时阵列。来自 Gaia 和 Roman 的即将到来的数据不仅可以交叉检验脉冲星计时阵列的发现,还可以探索连接脉冲星计时阵列和 LISA 之间尚未涉足的频率范围。我们提出了一个分析框架,用于评估探测引力波背景的可行性,同时考虑测量噪声和随机背景的内禀变异性。此外,我们利用信息矩阵分析,强调了天体测量学在揭示引力波背景关键性质(如谱指数和手性)方面的关键作用。最后,我们模拟了四极关联的出现,这种关联通常被称为广义 Hellings-Downs 曲线。

英文摘要:

Astrometry, the precise measurement of star motions, offers an alternative avenue to investigate low-frequency gravitational waves through the spatial deflection of photons, complementing pulsar timing arrays reliant on timing residuals. Upcoming data from Gaia and Roman can not only cross-check pulsar timing array findings but also explore the uncharted frequency range bridging pulsar timing arrays and LISA. We present an analytical framework to evaluate the feasibility of detecting a gravitational wave background, considering measurement noise and the intrinsic variability of the stochastic background. Furthermore, we highlight astrometry's crucial role in uncovering key properties of the gravitational wave background, such as spectral index and chirality, employing information-matrix analysis. Finally, we simulate the emergence of quadrupolar correlations, commonly referred to as the generalized Hellings-Downs curves.
