The Eccentric and Accelerating Stellar Binary Black Hole Mergers in Galactic Nuclei: Observing in Ground and Space Gravitational Wave Observatories
read the original abstract
We study the stellar binary black holes (BBHs) inspiralling/merging in galactic nuclei based on our numerical method GNC. We find that $3-40\%$ of all new born BBHs will finally merge due to various dynamical effects. In a five year's mission, up to $10^4$, $10^5$, $\sim100$ of BBHs inspiralling/merging in galactic nuclei can be detected with SNR$>8$ in aLIGO, Einstein/DECIGO, TianQin/LISA/TaiJi, respectively. About tens are detectable in both LISA/TaiJi/TianQin and aLIGO. These BBHs have two unique characteristics: (1) Significant eccentricities. $1-3\%$, $2-7\%$, or $30-90\%$ of them is with $e_i>0.1$ when they enter into aLIGO, Einstein, or space observatories, respectively. Such high eccentricities provide a possible explanation for that of GW 190521. Most highly-eccentric BBHs are not detectable in LISA/Tianqin/TaiJi before entering into aLIGO/Einstein as their strain become significant only at $f_{\rm GW}\gtrsim0.1$ Hz. DECIGO become an ideal observatory to detect those events as it can fully cover the rising phase. (2) Up to $2\%$ of BBHs can inspiral/merge at distances $\lesssim10^3 r_{\rm SW}$ from the massive black hole (MBH), with significant accelerations, such that the Doppler phase drift of $\sim10-10^5$ of them can be detectable with SNR$>8$ in space observatories. The energy density of the gravitational wave backgrounds (GWB) contributed by these BBHs deviate from the powerlaw slope of $2/3$ at $f_{\rm GW}\lesssim 1$mHz. The high eccentricity, significant accelerations and different profile of GWB of these sources make them distinguishable, thus interesting for future GW detections and tests of relativities.

Constraining Dipole Radiation with Multiband Gravitational Waves from Eccentric Binary Black Holes
Multiband observations of eccentric binary black holes can constrain dipole-radiation deviations from general relativity to |b| ≲ 10^{-7} for a GW231123-like event when combining one year of space-based data with grou...

Prospect for Detection of Strongly Lensed Multi-messenger Signals of Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Future CE+ET detectors may detect lensed BNS kilonovae at ~0.5/yr via pointed follow-up of known galaxy lenses, while lensed sGRBs and afterglows remain rare or undetectable with current-generation facilities.
