  5. Space GW detectors and Dark energyLuminosity Distance-Redshift relation • In the solar system, the equation of motion of a celestial body or a spacecraft is given by the astrodynamical equation a=aN + a1PN + a2PN + aGal-Cosm + aGW + anon-grav • In the case of scalar field models, the issue becomes what is the value of w() in the scalar field equation of state: w() = p() / ρ(), where p is the pressure and ρ the density. • For cosmological constant, w = -1. • From cosmological observations, our universe is close to being flat. In a flat Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe, the luminosity distance is given by dL(z) = (1+z) ∫0→z (H0)-1 [Ωm(1+z′)3 + ΩDE(1+z′)3(1+w)]-(1/2) dz′, where w is assumed to be constant.

Catalogs of GW sources • Typical binaries: sky positions, distance, orbit orientation, orbit separation, chirp mass for the system, spin magnitude and orientation, merger time (if appropriate) • Sources with subtantial orbital evolution: masses of the individual objects • Most favorable cases: masses, spins and distances to 1 % Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  10. Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) • EMRIs are GW sources for space GW detectors. • The NGO/eLISA sensitive range for central MBH masses is 104-107 M. • The expected number of NGO/eLISA detections over two years is 10 to 20;18 for LISA, a few tens;18 • for ASTROD-GW, similar or more with sensitivity toward larger central BH’s and with better angular resolution (Sec. 4.3).

  13. Earlier GW Classification(Thorne 1995); (Ni 1997) • (i) High-frequency band (1-10 kHz); • (ii) Low-frequency band (100 μHz - 1 Hz)(100 nHz – 1 Hz); • (iii) Very-low-frequency band (1 nHz -100 nHz)(300 pHz – 100 nHz); • (iv) Extremely-low-frequency band (1 aHz - 1 fHz1 aHz - 10 fHz).

RAS [2003]) Optimistic (upper dotted), fiducial (Model A, lower solid line) and pessimistic (lower dotted) extragalactic backgrounds plotted against the LISA (dashed) single-arm Michelson combination sensitivity curve. The‘unresolved’ Galactic close WD–WD spectrum from Nelemans et al. (2001c) is plotted (with signals from binaries resolved by LISA removed), as well as an extrapolated total, in which resolved binaries are restored, as well as an approximation to the Galactic MS–MS signal at low frequencies.

  18. Strain noise power spectra of ASTROD-GW as compared with LISA and NGO/eLISA Classification and Detection of Gravitational Waves W.-T. Ni

  19. Complete GW Classification (I) • Ultra high frequency band (above 1 THz): Detection methods include Terahertz resonators, optical resonators, and ingenious methods to be invented. • Very high frequency band (100 kHz – 1 THz): Microwave resonator/wave guide detectors, optical interferometers and Gaussian beam detectors are sensitive to this band. • High frequency band (10 Hz – 100 kHz): Low-temperature resonators and laser-interferometric ground detectors are most sensitive to this band. • Middle frequency band (0.1 Hz – 10 Hz): Space interferometric detectors of short armlength (1000-100000 km). • Low frequency band (100 nHz – 0.1 Hz): Laser-interferometer space detectors are most sensitive to this band.

  20. Complete GW Classification (II) • Very low frequency band (300 pHz – 100 nHz): Pulsar timing observations are most sensitive to this band. • Ultra low frequency band (10 fHz – 300 pHz): Astrometry of quasar proper motions are most sensitive to this band. • Extremely low (Hubble) frequency band（1 aHz – 10 fHz): Cosmic microwave background experiments are most sensitive to this band. • Beyond Hubble frequency band (below 1 aHz): Inflationary cosmological models give strengths of GWs in this band. They may be verified indirectly through the verifications of inflationary cosmological models. Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  21. Classification and Detection of Gravitational Waves W.-T. Ni

  22. Comparison of current and planned GW detectors Classification and Detection of Gravitational Waves W.-T. Ni

  23. Space GW detectors as dark energy probes • Luminosity distance determination to 1 % or better • Measurement of redshift by association • From this, obtain luminosity distance vs redshift relation, and therefore equation of state of dark energy Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  24. Space GW Detectors • Space interferometers (eLISA,ASTROD-GW,DECIGO) for gravitational-wave detection hold the most promise with signal-to-noise ratio. • eLISA (evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is aimed at detection of low-frequency (10-4 to 1 Hz) gravitational waves with a strain sensitivity of 4 × 10-21/(Hz) 1/2 at 1 mHz. • There are abundant sources for eLISA, and ASTROD-GW: galactic binaries (neutron stars, white dwarfs, etc.). Extra-galactic targets include supermassive black hole binaries, supermassive black hole formation, and cosmic background gravitational waves. • LISA Pathfinder will Launch in 2015; DECIGO Pathfinder will bid for a selection in 2016. • A date of eLISA launch is hoped for 2025.

  29. Determination of Dark Energy Equation is limited by gravitational lensing Better resolution may help to resolve and lessen the gravitational lensing effects; further study on this is needed. Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  30. Space GW detectors as a dark energy probe • For LISA, the accuracy of luminosity distance determination for MBH-MBH mergers is expected to be 1-2 % for redshifts z < 3, degrading to ≈ 5 % for z ≈ 5 • one has to obtain redshifts of the host galaxies. High signal to noise ratio gives high angular resolution which facilitates the determination of optical association and redshift. • Arun et al. (2007) showed that when higher signal harmonics are included in assessing the parameter estimation problem, the angular resolution increases by more than a factor of 10, making it possible for LISA to identify the host galaxy/galaxy cluster. Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  31. ASTROD-GW • ASTROD-GW will be able to determine this equation to 1 % or better through z to 20 with the only limitation coming from weak lensing. • Self-calibration methods may apply; however, the weak lensing may limit the accuracy to 10-20 % for z = 10-20. • With more study and observation, the limitation from weak lensing will be clearer and hopefully suppressed to certain extent. Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  32. Weak Lensing Limit • As investigated in Kocsis et al. (2006), at z=1, the weak lensing error in determining the redshift is about 2-3 %; at z=2, the weak lensing error is about 10 %; at z=3, the weak lensing error is about 20 %; at z=4, the weak lensing error is about 30 %. • Gunnarsson et al. (2006) used the observed properties of the foreground galaxies along the line of sight to the source to delense and reduce the dispersion due to lensing for source at z = 1.5 from about 7% to < 3%. Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  33. Weak Lensing Limit (2) • Shapiro et al. (2010) proposed to use mapping shear and flexion of galaxy images to reduce the lensing error. They estimated that delensing with a 2D mosaic image from an Extremely Large Telescope could reduce distance errors by about 25–30 per cent for an MBHB at z=2. • Including an additional wide shear map from a space survey telescope could reduce distance errors by nearly a factor of 2. • Saini et al. (2010) proposed to use self-calibration to reduce systematic uncertainties in determining distance-redshift relation via gravitational radiation from merging binaries. Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  34. Current Expectation • Binaries as distance indicators • Detection, LCGT, adLIGO, adVirgo: 2016 PTAs: about 2020 • ET sensitivities • Space detectors for Gravitational Waves • Dark energy equation via binary GW observations Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  35. ASTROD’s GW gaols-- dedicated to GW detection • Larger Arm Length  More Sensitivity to Lower Frequency and Larger Wavelength • Better S/N to massive BH events  Better accuracy for cosmic distance measurement and probe deeper into larger redshift and earlier Universe. Better probe to dark energy. • More sensitive to primordial gravitational wavesif foreground GWs can be separated. Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

Birnbaum, and N. Yu, IPN Progress Report42-175 (2008). Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  37. Orbit configuration optimization • Optimize period • Optimize radius (semi-major axis) • iteratively Dark Energy via GW Measurements W-T Ni

  38. ASTROD-GW inclined orbit configuration-- with nondegenerate angular resolution in the whole sky • In the original proposal, the ASTROD-GW orbits are chosen in the ecliptic plane. The angular resolution in the sky has antipodal ambiguity and, near ecliptic poles, the resolution is poor, although over most of sky the resolution is good. • Revising the orbits of ASTROD-GW spacecraft to have small inclinations of 1-3 degrees to resolve these issues while keeping the variation of the arm lengths in the tolerable range.
