摘要:
在本论文中,我们研究极端质量比和中等质量比旋近大质量黑洞系统中的环境效应。在这些系统中,恒星质量致密天体绕大质量黑洞运行,并因引力波辐射和其他耗散力而损失轨道能量。我们探讨了与暗物质尖峰、恒星分布、吸积盘的环境相互作用,并将它们进行组合和比较。我们讨论了在这些环境效应存在下暗物质尖峰的存在性和性质。我们考察了环境效应的特征,如相空间流动、相位漂移、近心点位移以及与吸积盘的对齐。这些特征在孤立尖峰系统、干旋近和湿旋近中进行了量化。我们总体上发现暗物质效应相对于其他环境效应处于次要地位,但它们对波形的影响仍然可观测且可识别。最后,我们估计了旋近的速率以及尖峰的影响。所有这些结果都是借助同时发布的代码imripy获得的。如果暗物质尖峰存在,它们应该能够被空间引力波观测站观测到。
英文摘要:
In this dissertation, we look at environmental effects in extreme and intermediate mass ratio inspirals into massive black holes. In these systems, stellar mass compact objects orbit massive black holes and lose orbital energy due to gravitational wave emission and other dissipative forces. We explore environmental interactions with dark matter spikes, stellar distributions, accretion disks, and combine and compare them. We discuss the existence and properties of dark matter spikes in the presence of these environmental effects. The signatures of the environmental effects, such as the phase space flow, dephasing, deshifting of the periapse, and alignment with accretion disks, are examined. These signatures are quantified in isolated spike systems, in dry, and in wet inspirals. We generally find dark matter effects to be subdominant to the other environmental effects, but their impact on the waveform is still observable and identifiable. Lastly, the rates of inspirals and the impact of spikes are estimated. All of these results are obtained with the help of a code imripy that is published alongside. If dark matter spikes exist, they should be observable with space-based gravitational wave observatories
