摘要:

未来的空间引力波天文台如LISA将探测到大质量黑洞双星(MBHBs),这些双星预计伴有电磁对应体,从而为宇宙学提供明亮的标准汽笛。MBHBs的轨道偏心率可以显著改善引力波的参数估计,因为偏心率引起的多个谐波提供了额外信息,有助于打破波形参数之间的简并。在本文中,我们使用EccentricFD波形,并在三种种群模型(popIII、Q3d和Q3nod)下构建了LISA的5年引力波事件目录。对于这三种模型,我们发现初始偏心率为$e_0=0.4$(在$10^{-4}$ Hz处)时,在最佳情况下,天区定位和距离推断的改进因子达到$\mathcal{O}(10)$。因此,明亮标准汽笛的平均数量显著增加:从8增加到11(PopIII),从6增加到12(Q3d),从13增加到24(Q3nod)。事件数量的增加,加上定位和距离推断的增强,导致了更严格的宇宙学约束。例如,在$\Lambda$CDM模型中,Q3d模型下$H_0$的相对不确定度从$8.17\%$降低到$4.35\%$,对应约$47\%$的改进。我们还研究了将明亮标准汽笛与最新宇宙微波背景数据结合时,对暗能量状态方程和修正引力波传播的约束改进。这些结果表明,偏心率是引力波探测和参数估计中一个非常显著的特征,使得未来的空间天文台能够更精确地测量宇宙。

英文摘要:

Future space-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories such as LISA will detect massive black hole binaries (MBHBs), which are expected to be accompanied by electromagnetic counterparts, thereby providing bright standard sirens for cosmology. The orbital eccentricity of MBHBs can significantly improve the parameter estimation of GWs because the multiple harmonics induced by eccentricity provide additional information and help break down the degeneracies among waveform parameters. In this paper, we use the EccentricFD waveform and construct 5-year GW event catalogs for LISA under three population models (popIII, Q3d and Q3nod). For the three models, we find that an initial eccentricity of $e_0=0.4$ at $10^{-4}$ Hz yields improvements in sky localization and distance inference by a factor of $\mathcal{O}(10)$ in the best cases. As a consequence, the average number of bright sirens increases substantially: from 8 to 11 (PopIII), 6 to 12 (Q3d) and 13 to 24 (Q3nod). This increase in event number, together with enhanced localization and distance inference, leads to tighter cosmological constraints. In the $Λ$CDM model, for instance, the relative uncertainty on $H_0$ is reduced from $8.17\%$ to $4.35\%$ for the Q3d model, corresponding to an improvement of approximately $47\%$. We also investigate the improvement in constraints on the dark energy equation of state and modified GW propagation when combining bright sirens with the latest cosmic microwave background data. These results demonstrate that eccentricity is a remarkably significant feature in GW detection and parameter estimation, enabling more accurate measurements of the Universe with future space-based observatories.
