AI总结:

本文利用蒙特卡洛N体模拟和LISA引力波探测,研究银河系球状星团中动力学形成的黑洞双星的可探测性与定位精度,表明高信噪比源可被精确定位到特定星团,从而为检验球状星团对黑洞双星形成的贡献提供直接途径。

摘要:

球状星团(GCs)中黑洞双星(BBHs)的动力学形成可能对观测到的引力波(GW)并合率有显著贡献。此外,LISA可能在毫赫兹频段探测到来自球状星团的许多黑洞双星源,从而能够表征银河系及邻近宇宙中的此类系统。在本工作中,我们使用蒙特卡洛N体模拟构建了一个真实的银河系星团样本,从而估计了其中所容纳黑洞双星的数量、可探测性以及参数测量精度。特别地,我们表明,对于10年的LISA观测,银河系球状星团中分别有 $0.7\pm 0.7$、$2.0\pm 1.7$、$3.6\pm 2.3$、$13.4\pm 4.7$ 个黑洞双星的引力波信号可以超过信噪比阈值 $\rm SNR =30$、5、3和1,其中约 $50\\%$ 的可探测源表现出高偏心率($e\gtrsim0.9$)。此外,对引力波信号的Fisher矩阵和贝叶斯分析表明,这些系统通常具有高分辨率的轨道频率($δf_{\rm orb}/ f_{\rm orb} \sim 10^{-7}-10^{-5}$)和偏心率($δe/ e \sim 10^{-3}-0.1$),并且当信噪比超过约20时,可以测量其总质量。值得注意的是,我们表明高信噪比的黑洞双星可以被自信地定位到特定的银河系球状星团,其天空定位精度为 $δΩ\sim 1$~deg$^2$,并讨论了其距离测量中的较大不确定性($δR \sim 0.3 - 20$~kpc)。即使仅在银河系球状星团中探测并定位到一个黑洞双星,也将允许精确追踪其长期轨道演化,能够直接检验球状星团在黑洞双星形成中的作用,并为银河系星团的演化历史提供独特的探测手段。

英文摘要:

The dynamical formation of binary black holes (BBHs) in globular clusters (GCs) may contribute significantly to the observed gravitational wave (GW) merger rate. Furthermore, LISA may detect many BBH sources from GCs at mHz frequencies, enabling the characterization of such systems within the Milky Way and nearby Universe. In this work, we use Monte Carlo N-body simulations to construct a realistic sample of Galactic clusters, thus estimating the population, detectability, and parameter measurement accuracy of BBHs hosted within them. In particular, we show that the GW signal from $0.7\pm 0.7$, $2.0\pm 1.7$, $3.6\pm 2.3$, $13.4\pm 4.7$ BBHs in Milky Way GCs can exceed the signal-to-noise ratio threshold of $\rm SNR =30$, 5, 3, and 1 for a 10-year LISA observation, with $\sim 50\%$ of detectable sources exhibiting high eccentricities ($e\gtrsim0.9$). Moreover, the Fisher matrix and Bayesian analyses of the GW signals indicate these systems typically feature highly-resolved orbital frequencies ($δf_{\rm orb}/ f_{\rm orb} \sim 10^{-7}-10^{-5}$) and eccentricities ($δe/ e \sim 10^{-3}-0.1$), as well as a measurable total mass when SNR exceeds $\sim20$. Notably, we show that high-SNR BBHs can be confidently localized to specific Milky Way GCs with a sky localization accuracy of $δΩ\sim 1$~deg$^2$, and address the large uncertainties in their distance measurement ($δR \sim 0.3 - 20$~kpc). The detection and localization of even a single BBH in a Galactic GC would allow accurate tracking of its long-term orbital evolution, enable a direct test of the role of GCs in BBH formation, and provide a unique probe into the evolutionary history of Galactic clusters.
