  • Constraint on Brans-Dicke theory from intermediate/extreme mass ratio inspirals

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2023-02-19

    摘要: Intermediate/Extreme mass ratio inspiral (I/EMRI) system provides a good tool to test the nature of gravity in strong field. Based on the method of osculating orbits, we compute the orbital evolutions of I/EMRIs on quasi-elliptic orbits in both Einstein's general relativity and Brans-Dicke theory. The extra monopolar and dipolar channels in Brans-Dicke theory accelerate the orbital decay, so it is important to consider the effects of monopolar and dipolar emissions on the waveform. With the help of accurate orbital motion, we generate waveform templates which include both monopolar and dipolar contributions for I/EMRIs on eccentric orbits in Brans-Dicke theory. With a two-year observation of gravitational waves emitted from I/EMRIs by LISA, we get the most stringent constraint on the Brans-Dicke coupling parameter $\omega_0>10^6$.

    摘要: Using the analytic, static and spherically symmetric metric for a Schwarzschild black hole immersed in dark matter (DM) halos with Hernquist type density distribution, we derive analytic formulae for the orbital period and orbital precession, the evolutions of the semi-latus rectum and the eccentricity for eccentric EMRIs with the environment of DM halos. We show how orbital precessions are decreased and even reverse the direction if the density of DM halo is large enough. The presence of local DM halos slows down the decrease of the semi-latus rectum and the eccentricity. Comparing the number of orbital cycles with and without DM halos over one-year evolution before the merger, we find that DM halos with the compactness as small as $10^{-4}$ can be detected. By calculating the mismatch between GW waveforms with and without DM halos, we show that we can use GWs from EMRIs in the environments of galaxies to test the existence of DM halos and detect the compactness as small as $10^{-5}$.
