本研究结合未来第三代引力波探测器与X射线探测器STROBE-X的灵敏度,通过核物理与天体物理约束的多组物态方程,评估准普适关系在中子星参数提取中的精度,发现完整物态方程分布方法精度更优。

摘要:

中子星天体物理特征建模的物态方程依赖性是我们理解致密物质的关键。然而,文献中报道了一系列几乎不依赖于物态方程的关系,被称为准普适关系,这类关系可用于通过X射线和引力波信号测定中子星的半径与转动惯量。我们利用受多信使天文学测量和核物理理论约束的多组物态方程,在未来引力波探测器Cosmic Explorer(宇宙探索者)、Einstein Telescope(爱因斯坦望远镜)以及X射线探测器STROBE-X的背景下,对准普适关系展开讨论。我们重点关注涉及转动惯量$I$、潮汐形变度$Λ$和致密度$C$的三类关系:$C(Λ)$、$I(Λ)$和$I(C)$。准普适拟合及其相关误差通过三种不同的微观物理方法构建,这些方法涵盖了最先进的核物理理论和天体物理约束。我们结合下一代探测器的灵敏度模拟了引力波和X射线信号,并对这些模拟信号开展了物态方程推断,以评估准普适关系是否能比依赖物态方程的关系更精确地提取中子星的宏观参数。研究表明,第三代引力波探测器与X射线探测器STROBE-X的探测结果将对拟合误差边缘化技术敏感。我们还发现,这些探测器的灵敏度足以使使用完整物态方程分布的方法,在参数提取精度上优于准普适关系。此外我们注意到,与当前的天体物理约束相比,核物理理论下准普适关系的物态方程不变性更为显著。

英文摘要:

The equation of state dependence of neutron star's astrophysical features modeling is key to our understanding of dense matter. However, there exists a series of almost equation-of-state independent relations reported in the literature, called quasi-universal relations, that are used to determine neutron star radii and moments of inertia from X-ray and gravitational wave signals. Using sets of equations of state constrained by multi-messenger astronomy measurements and nuclear-physics theory, we discuss quasi-universal relations in the context of future gravitational-wave detectors Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope, and X-ray detector STROBE-X. We focus on relations that involve the moment of inertia $I$, the tidal deformability $Λ$ and the compactness $C$: $C(Λ)$, $I(Λ)$ and $I(C)$. The quasi-universal fits and their associated errors are constructed with three different microphysics approaches which include state of the art nuclear physics theory and astrophysical constraints. Gravitational-wave and X-ray signals are simulated with the sensitivity of the next generation of detectors. Equation of state inference on those simulated signals is performed to assess if quasi-universal relations will offer a better precision on the extraction of neutron star's macroscopic parameters than equation of state dependent relations. We show that detections with the 3rd generation of gravitational wave detectors and the X-ray detector STROBE-X will be sensitive to the fit error marginalization technique. We also find that the sensitivity of those detectors will be sufficient that using full equation of state distributions will offer better precision on extracted parameters than quasi-universal relations.We also note that nuclear physics theory offers a more pronounced equation of state invariance of quasi-universal relations than current astrophysical constraints.
