AI总结:

本文评估面向 ET 的未建模引力波搜索流水线,在含真实 CBC 分布的一个月模拟数据中验证其检测率、啁啾质量估计及低计算成本优势。

摘要:

Einstein Telescope(ET)是一个第三代引力波(GW)探测器项目,其计划灵敏度比 Advanced LIGO 和 Advanced Virgo 等当前探测器高 10 倍。预计数据中引力波信号的高发生率将带来若干数据分析挑战,例如区分重叠信号的能力,或确定处理所有候选事件所需计算资源规模的需求。我们在一个模拟数据集上考察了一条数据分析流水线的行为与性能;该流水线旨在搜索持续时间为 1 至 1000 秒的未建模引力波信号。模拟数据集由遵循 ET 设计灵敏度的 1 个月数据构成,并在其上加入符合真实分布的致密双星并合(CBC)信号。就本质而言,未建模搜索对 CBC 信号的灵敏度低于基于模板的搜索,但其计算成本更低,并且对波形不确定性更稳健。该搜索恢复了全部注入双黑洞(BBH)信号的 38%,其中包括总质量超过 100 倍太阳质量系统的 89%,以及距离小于 850 Mpc(z = 0.17)的大多数双中子星(BNS)信号。它还能够估计所恢复 BNS 的啁啾质量,平均精度为 1.3%。因此,我们表明,这种未建模搜索能够以相对较低的计算成本检测大量 CBC 事件,这使其适用于低延迟分析,以及对匹配滤波流水线所得检测结果进行独立验证。我们还发现,大量 CBC 信号的存在对该搜索检测其他类型未建模长持续时间瞬变信号的灵敏度仅有轻微影响,平均影响为 3%。

英文摘要:

Einstein Telescope (ET) is a project of third generation gravitational wave (GW) detector with a planned sensitivity 10 times better than current detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. The high rate of GW signals expected in the data will pose several data analysis challenges, like the ability to disentangle overlapping signals or the need to dimension the computational resources required to treat all the candidate events. We explore the behaviour and the performances of a data analysis pipeline designed to search for unmodelled GW signals with duration 1 to 1000 s on a mock dataset that consists of 1 month of data following ET design sensitivity on top of which is added a realistic distribution of compact binary coalescence (CBC) signals. Unmodelled searches are intrinsically less sensitive to CBC signals than template-based searches, but are computationally cheaper and more robust to uncertainties in the waveforms. This search recovers 38% of the total number of injected binary black hole (BBH) signals, including 89% of the systems with a total mass above 100 solar masses, as well as the majority of binary neutron star (BNS) signals closer than 850 Mpc (z = 0.17). It is also able to estimate the chirp mass of the recovered BNS with an average precision of 1.3%. Therefore, we show that this unmodelled search is able to detect a substantial amount of CBC events at a relatively low computational cost, which makes it interesting for low latency analyses and independent validation of detections made by matched filtering pipelines. We also find that the presence of many CBC signals only marginally impacts the sensitivity of the search to other kinds of unmodelled long duration transient signals, by 3% in average.
