AI总结:

本研究提出利用中子星-黑洞并合天然的质量不对称性及引力波高阶模式,解决中子星自转参数测量中的简并性问题,并证实下一代引力波探测器能精确测量小中子星自转。

摘要:

中子星(NS)自转的精确测量能够为包含NS的致密双星的形成与演化提供重要见解。传统的NS自转测量方法依赖于脉冲星观测,而引力波探测提供了一条互补的途径。然而,由于NS的无量纲自转较小且质量与自转参数之间存在简并性,利用引力波确定各组件的自转受到阻碍。这种简并性可以通过在波形中包含高阶模式来解决,这对于质量不等的系统非常重要。本研究表明,中子星-黑洞并合天然具有质量不对称性,适合用于精确的NS自转测量。我们探讨了黑洞质量与自转、高阶模式含量、倾角以及探测器灵敏度对NS自转测量的影响。我们发现,配备Cosmic Explorer和Einstein Telescope等下一代观测设备的网络,可以在$1-\sigma$置信度下,将距离在$\sim 350$($\sim 1000$)Mpc内事件的无量纲自转0.04(0.1)与零区分开来。配备A+和A$^{\sharp}$探测器的网络分别在$\sim 30$($\sim 70$)Mpc和$\sim 50$($\sim 110$)Mpc内实现了类似的区分效果。

英文摘要:

The precise measurement of neutron star (NS) spins can provide important insight into the formation and evolution of compact binaries containing NS. While traditional methods of NS spin measurement rely on pulsar observations, gravitational wave detections offer a complementary avenue. However, determining component spins with gravitational waves is hindered by the small dimensionless spins of the NS and the degeneracy in the mass and spin parameters. This degeneracy can be addressed by the inclusion of higher-order modes in the waveform, which are important for systems with unequal masses. This study shows the suitability of neutron star-black hole mergers, which are naturally mass-asymmetric, for precise NS spin measurements. We explore the effects of the black hole masses and spins, higher-mode content, inclination angle, and detector sensitivity on the measurement of NS spin. We find that networks with next-generation observatories like the Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope can distinguish NS dimensionless spin of 0.04 (0.1) from zero at $1-σ$ confidence for events within $\sim 350$ $(\sim 1000)$ Mpc. Networks with A+ and A$^{\sharp}$ detectors achieve similar distinction within $\sim 30$ $(\sim 70)$ Mpc and $\sim 50$ $(\sim 110)$ Mpc, respectively.
