Abstract

Binary stars are as frequency as single stars in the Universe, and at least 70% of the massive stars located in our Galaxy belong to a binary system. We produce the gravitational waveforms for the extreme mass ratio inspiral systems (EMRIs) of binary stars moving around central supermassive black hole (SBH), or called B-EMRIs.We calculate the orbits of such systems via the Hamilton-Jacobi approach. To improve accuracy we adopt the quadrupole-octupole expression of gravitational wave (GW) and study the contribution of radiation reaction. Compared to the waveforms of EMRIs, there are higher frequency oscillations superposed on the waveforms of B-EMRIs. We perform frequency spectrum analysis of the GW waveforms, and find that higher frequency signals give their prominency in the waveforms of B-EMRIs. We study the binary compact objects with different masses and inclination angles of the binary internal orbit plane, and obtain the frequency spectrum variation with respect to the parameters. To obtain more precise result for future observation of GWs from space-based detector, we take into account gravito-electromagnetic (GEM) force for the binary orbit on the equatorial plane, and compare the waveforms with that of EMRIs without GEM force. The result of mismatch shows that the waveforms of B-EMRIs are credibly distinguishable by the space-based GW detectors when GEM force is considered.

1 Introduction

Black hole (BH) may be the most thoroughly-studied object before its discovery in the history of science. Recently, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration announced the images of the SBHs M87* and SgrA*[1, 2]. Such images together with the detections of GWs[3, 4] confirm the existence of black holes, and launch a new era of testing gravity in strong-field regime and far beyond the scale of solar system.

The goal of next generation space-based GW detectors—Taiji, Tianqin, and Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)—is designed to be most sensitive to detect low frequency GW signals in the band about 104110^{-4}-1 Hz. EMRIs are the sources generating GWs in this band. EMRIs are composed of central SBH and stellar-mass compact objects moving around the SBH. The multi-body interaction in the cusp of the stellar population surrounding the SBH may scatter the compact objects into the orbits close the central SBH and form the EMRIs[5, 6]. The GWs generated by EMRIs carry the information both of the background BH and the stellar-mass compact objects, so detections of GWs will help to learn more about the the strong-field character of the BH spacetime, the multipole structure of the BH, the structures of the small body compact objects, and the information of the underlying theory governing the way in which our universe works.

Analysis of the data released by GW detectors replies heavily on the matched filtering technique, which makes correlations between data and template waveforms, thus establishing template waveforms of EMRIs is critical for data analysis.

The waveforms generated by motions of single stellar-mass compact object in BH spacetime have been studied intensively[7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24], including probe of fundamental fields[25, 26], modified gravity[27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32], extra dimensions[33], electric charge and internal structure of small body objects[34, 36, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40], etc. Binary-star systems are important astrophysical objects which are constituted of binary stars revolving around each other. The amount of binary-star systems is huge in the Galaxy. It’s estimated that the amount of binary-star systems is no less than that of single star. The vast majority of stars are located in a binary system. It is estimated that more than 70% of all massive stars may exist in systems with two or three stars.

In active galactic nuclei, due to the rich forms of interactions between SBH, the gaseous accretion disks and the stellar mass compact objects, the binary may be formed and scattered onto the orbits closed to the central SBH to form the systems which we call B-EMRIs. The binary stars orbiting around central SBH constitute a significant typical EMIRs. Thus, it is quite sensible to consider the waveforms produced by motions of binary stars surrounding a SBH in addition to the case of single star. The GW generated by each of the binary star overlaps, so the waveforms generated by this type of EMRIs are distinguishable from that generated by single star. In this paper, we consider the case that the amplitudes of the GW generated by internal motion of binary stars are small compared to that generated by external motion of the mass center since such systems are considerable popular in the Universe and can be detected by the next generation observatory of GWs. It’s expected small perturbations would appear in B-EMRIs when compared to the waveforms of ordinary EMRIs. It’s really worthwhile to build the template waveforms of such systems for future data analysis of space-based detectors for GWs.

Since the traditional method of calculating gravitational waveforms—solving Teukolsky equations—cost a lot of time and computational resources[41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53], while realistic data analysis need to handle a large number of waveforms, thus more practical methods are necessary. And it is proved that such methods are feasible. In this paper, we adopt the “numerical kludge” (NK) method which generates waveforms more conveniently and quickly but captures the principle feature of true waveforms[54]. To improve accuracy, aside from the mass quadrupole we take into account the mass octupole and current quadrupole moments of the source to solve the wave equations. It’s justified the NK method does excellently at approximating the true gravitational waveforms so this method has already been used for scoping out data analysis of LISA. For the radiation reaction, we consider the adiabatic evolution of orbit parameters: the timescale of evolution of the orbit parameters is much larger than that of orbit cycles such that the motion of mass point in BH spacetime is nearly geodesic. Further, since the amplitude of GWs generated by internal motions are smaller compared to that generated by external motions of the mass center, to master the principle property of the waveform we concentrate on the radiation reaction due to the GW emissions generated by the motion of mass center. We take the hybrid scheme that combines Tagoshi’s[46], Shibata’s[53] and Ryan’s fluxes[55, 56], whose precision is comparable or higher than Teukolsky-based results for generic circular-inclined orbits [57].

According to equivalence principle only at the origin of free-fall frame (FFF), i.e., the mass center of the binary, the spacetime is flat, if there is departure from the origin the effects of curved spacetime appear. Since for binary system, either star does not locate at the origin of FFF, we should take into account the gravitational effects caused by this reason. Later we’ll study the effects of GEM force on the waveforms of B-EMRIs.

The paper is organised as follows. In section 2 we calculate the trajectories of the binary stars and give waveforms of GW with the NK method. In section 3 we analyse the waveforms by calculating mismatch between the waveforms of binary stars and that of single star. We summarize our results in the last section. In this work, we adopt the geometrized units with G=c=1G=c=1.

2 Numerical Kludge Waveforms

In this section we adopt the NK waveforms approach developed in [54] to produce the GW waveforms of the B-EMRIs. We consider the system as, the central SBH is Kerr, the stellar-mass binary stars revolve around each other and they as a whole move along the inspiral trajectory of the central SBH. The binary stars are supposed to live far away from the SBH such that the internal gravity between them dominates, so the impacts of the SBH on the internal orbit of the binary stars are neglected, while the center of mass of the binary stars is still on the inspiral trajectory of the SBH. The geometry of binary stars moving in the spacetime of SBH is illustrated in Fig.1.

2.1 the geometry of the orbit

The binary are supposed to revolve around each other along elliptic orbit. We introduce the relative coordinates r~=r1r2\vec{\tilde{r}}=\vec{r}_{1}-\vec{r}_{2}, with r~=p~1+e~cosβ~\tilde{r}=\frac{\tilde{p}}{1+\tilde{e}\cos\tilde{\beta}}, then the coordinates of the binary with masses m1m_{1} and m2m_{2} can be expressed with coordinates of mass center and relative coordinates as r1=rC+r~1,r2=rC+r~2\vec{r}_{1}=\vec{r}_{C}+\vec{\tilde{r}}_{1},\vec{r}_{2}=\vec{r}_{C}+\vec{\tilde{r}}_{2}, where r~1=m2m1+m2r~,r~2=m1m1+m2r~\vec{\tilde{r}}_{1}=\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\vec{\tilde{r}},\;\vec{\tilde{r}}_{2}=-\frac{m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\vec{\tilde{r}}. We use the coordinates and parameters with tilde to describe the internal motion of binary stars around each other. The spin axis of the central SBH is along z0z_{0}, as displayed in Fig.1, θ0\theta_{0} is the angle between z0z_{0} and zz which is the normal direction of the surface of binary stars’ internal elliptic orbit. ϕ0\phi_{0} is the angle between x0x_{0} and the node line which is the intersection line between the surface of binary stars’ internal orbit and the horizonal surface.

Now let’s discuss the orbit of a mass point in Kerr spacetime, in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates Kerr metric can be expressed as

ds2=(12MΣ)dt2+ΣΔdr24aMrsin2θΣdtdϕ+Σdθ2+sin2θ(r2+a2+a2sin2θ2MrΣ)dϕ2,ds^{2}=-\left(1-\frac{2M}{\Sigma}\right)dt^{2}+\frac{\Sigma}{\Delta}dr^{2}-\frac{4aMr\sin^{2}\theta}{\Sigma}dtd\phi+\Sigma d\theta^{2}+\sin^{2}\theta\left(r^{2}+a^{2}+a^{2}\sin^{2}\theta\frac{2Mr}{\Sigma}\right)d\phi^{2}, (1)

where Δ=r22Mr+a2\Delta=r^{2}-2Mr+a^{2} and Σ=r2+a2cos2θ\Sigma=r^{2}+a^{2}\cos^{2}\theta. We adopt the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation reads

Sτ=12gαβSxαSxβ.-\frac{\partial S}{\partial\tau}=\frac{1}{2}g^{\alpha\beta}\frac{\partial S}{\partial x^{\alpha}}\frac{\partial S}{\partial x^{\beta}}. (2)

The Kerr BH admits two obvious Killing vectors t\partial_{t} and ϕ\partial_{\phi}, which correspond to two conserved charges, energy EE and angular momentum LzL_{z}, so for the mass point with mass μ\mu (μ=m1+m2\mu=m_{1}+m_{2} in this paper), the action reads

S=12μ2τEt+Lzϕ+Sr(r)+Sθ(θ),S=\frac{1}{2}\mu^{2}\tau-Et+L_{z}\phi+S_{r}(r)+S_{\theta}(\theta), (3)

which leads to pr=dSr/drp_{r}=dS_{r}/dr and pθ=dSθ/dθp_{\theta}=dS_{\theta}/d\theta. Inserting (3) into the Hamilton-Jacobi equation (2) and separating variables we have

Sr(r)=±𝑑r1ΔR(r),Sθ(θ)=±𝑑θΘ(θ),S_{r}(r)=\pm\int dr\frac{1}{\Delta}\sqrt{R(r)},\;S_{\theta}(\theta)=\pm\int d\theta\sqrt{\Theta(\theta)}, (4)

with

R(r)\displaystyle R(r) [(r2+a2)EaLz]2Δ[μ2r2+(LzaE)2+Q],\displaystyle\equiv[(r^{2}+a^{2})E-aL_{z}]^{2}-\Delta\left[\mu^{2}r^{2}+(L_{z}-aE)^{2}+Q\right], (5)
Θ(θ)\displaystyle\Theta(\theta) Q+(LzaE)2μ2a2cos2θ1sin2θ[LzaEsin2θ]2,\displaystyle\equiv Q+(L_{z}-aE)^{2}-\mu^{2}a^{2}\cos^{2}\theta-\frac{1}{\sin^{2}\theta}\left[L_{z}-aE\sin^{2}\theta\right]^{2},

where QQ is a constant which is related with the separation constant CC through Q=C(LzaE)2Q=C-(L_{z}-aE)^{2}. Actually, the variable-separability of Hamilton-Jacobi equation in Kerr spacetime corresponds to a nontrivial symmetry which is described by a Killing tensor

Kμν=a2cos2θgμν+1sin2θδϕμδϕν+a2sin2θδtμδtν2aδtμδϕν+δθμδθν.K^{\mu\nu}=a^{2}\cos^{2}\theta g^{\mu\nu}+\frac{1}{\sin^{2}\theta}\delta^{\mu}_{\phi}\delta^{\nu}_{\phi}+a^{2}\sin^{2}\theta\delta^{\mu}_{t}\delta^{\nu}_{t}-2a\delta^{\mu}_{t}\delta^{\nu}_{\phi}+\delta^{\mu}_{\theta}\delta^{\nu}_{\theta}. (6)

The Killing tensor satisfies the Killing equation (λKμν)=0\nabla_{(\lambda}K_{\mu\nu)}=0, the bracket denotes symmetrization of the indices. This is a highly nontrivial symmetry which corresponds to the third conserved quantity—Carter constant QQ—in addition to energy and angular momentum[58]. The explicit integration expression of coordinates can be obtained by setting the partial derivative of Hamilton-Jacobi function with respect to the constants of motion to be zero, that’s to say the motions of particles in Kerr spacetime are integrable.

The lower four panels display the details of the corresponding orbits in the upper four panels in the x-y plane. For the first panel, the mass of the single compact object is set to be m=18Mm=18M_{\odot}, the initial external orbit parameters are set to be p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,ι(0)=7π/9p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,\iota(0)=7\pi/9. For the second to fourth panels, the masses of the compact objects are set to be m1=2M,m2=3Mm_{1}=2M_{\odot},m_{2}=3M_{\odot}; m1=8M,m2=10Mm_{1}=8M_{\odot},m_{2}=10M_{\odot} and m1=20M,m2=30Mm_{1}=20M_{\odot},m_{2}=30M_{\odot} respectively. The initial external orbit parameters are set to be p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3 as well, the internal orbit parameters are set to be p~=0.005M,e~=0.2\tilde{p}=0.005M,\tilde{e}=0.2. The rotation parameter of the SBH is set to be a=0.9Ma=0.9M.

With the above results, one now is able to give the geodesics of a mass point in Kerr spacetime

Σdrdτ\displaystyle\Sigma\frac{dr}{d\tau} =±Vr,\displaystyle=\pm\sqrt{V_{r}}, (7)
Σdθdτ\displaystyle\Sigma\frac{d\theta}{d\tau} =±Vθ,\displaystyle=\pm\sqrt{V_{\theta}},
Σdϕdτ\displaystyle\Sigma\frac{d\phi}{d\tau} =Vϕ,\displaystyle=V_{\phi},
Σdtdτ\displaystyle\Sigma\frac{dt}{d\tau} =Vt,\displaystyle=V_{t},

with

Vr\displaystyle V_{r} =[E(r2+a2)Lza]2Δ[μ2r2+(LzaE)2+Q],\displaystyle=\left[E(r^{2}+a^{2})-L_{z}a\right]^{2}-\Delta\left[\mu^{2}r^{2}+(L_{z}-aE)^{2}+Q\right], (8)
Vθ\displaystyle V_{\theta} =Qcos2θ[a2(μ2E2)+Lz2sin2θ],\displaystyle=Q-\cos^{2}{\theta}\left[a^{2}(\mu^{2}-E^{2})+\frac{L_{z}^{2}}{\sin^{2}{\theta}}\right],
Vϕ\displaystyle V_{\phi} =Lzsin2θaE+aΔ[E(r2+a2)Lza],\displaystyle=\frac{L_{z}}{\sin^{2}{\theta}}-aE+\frac{a}{\Delta}\left[E(r^{2}+a^{2})-L_{z}a\right],
Vt\displaystyle V_{t} =a(LzaEsin2θ)+r2+a2Δ[E(r2+a2)Lza].\displaystyle=a\left(L_{z}-aE\sin^{2}{\theta}\right)+\frac{r^{2}+a^{2}}{\Delta}\left[E(r^{2}+a^{2})-L_{z}a\right].

To solve the equations of geodesic motions (7) numerically, we introduce two angular variables ψ\psi and χ\chi in place of rr and θ\theta to avoid possible singularities. ψ\psi is defined as

r=p1+ecosψ.r=\frac{p}{1+e\cos\psi}. (9)

It’s evident the periastron and apastron locate at rp=p1+er_{p}=\frac{p}{1+e} and ra=p1er_{a}=\frac{p}{1-e}. χ\chi is defined as z=cos2θ=zcos2χz=\cos^{2}\theta=z_{-}\cos^{2}\chi, where zz_{-} is given by

β(z+z)(zz)=βz2z[Q+Lz2+a2(μ2E2)]+Q,\beta(z_{+}-z)(z_{-}-z)=\beta z^{2}-z\left[Q+L_{z}^{2}+a^{2}(\mu^{2}-E^{2})\right]+Q, (10)

with β=a2(μ2E2)\beta=a^{2}(\mu^{2}-E^{2}). The parameter χ\chi ranges from 0 to 2π2\pi. As χ\chi varies from 0 to 2π2\pi, θ\theta goes from one turning point θmin\theta_{min} to the other θmax\theta_{max} and back to θmin\theta_{min}. We introduce an “inclination angle” to replace Carter constant Q=Lz2tan2ιQ=L_{z}^{2}\tan^{2}\iota. For ι=0\iota=0 or π\pi, QQ equals to zero, from the geodesic equations (7) and (8) we know mass points remain on the equatorial plane at all times in this case. So Q=0Q=0 corresponds to the equatorial orbits while Q0Q\neq 0 corresponds to non-equatorial orbits. Expanding the radial potential as

Vr=(μ2E2)(rar)(rrp)(rr3)(rr4),V_{r}=(\mu^{2}-E^{2})\,(r_{a}-r)\,(r-r_{p})\,(r-r_{3})\,(r-r_{4}), (11)

we find evolution equations for ψ\psi and χ\chi to be of the form

dψdt\displaystyle\frac{d\psi}{dt} =μ2E2[(pr3(1e))e(p+r3(1e)cosψ)]12[(pr4(1+e))+e(pr4(1+e)cosψ)]12[γ+a2Ez(χ)](1e2),\displaystyle=\frac{\sqrt{\mu^{2}-E^{2}}\,\left[(p-r_{3}(1-e))-e(p+r_{3}(1-e)\cos\psi)\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}\,\left[(p-r_{4}(1+e))+e(p-r_{4}(1+e)\cos\psi)\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\left[\gamma+a^{2}\,E\,z(\chi)\right](1-e^{2})}, (12)
dχdt\displaystyle\frac{d\chi}{dt} =β[z+z(χ)]γ+a2Ez(χ),\displaystyle=\frac{\sqrt{\beta\,\left[z_{+}-z(\chi)\right]}}{\gamma+a^{2}\,E\,z(\chi)},

where γ=E[(r2+a2)2/Δa2]2MraLzΔ\gamma=E\left[\left(r^{2}+a^{2}\right)^{2}/\Delta-a^{2}\right]-\frac{2MraL_{z}}{\Delta}. Solving these equations allow us to know the positions of mass center of the binary at any time.

To calculate GWs, we need to calculate the positions of the two compact objects in binary system relative to the mass center. The mass center of the binary system is free-falling around the SBH, thus locally the spacetime around the mass center can be treated as Minkowskian spacetime. Since for binary system the size of their internal orbit is much smaller than that of their external orbit, i.e., p~\tilde{p} is much smaller than pp, so the internal motions of binary are dominated by internal Newtonian gravity. For convenience, the two-body problem is reduced to one-body problem, the relative motion is described by the Lagrangian

L=12mrr~˙2V(i)(r~),L=\frac{1}{2}m_{r}\dot{\vec{\tilde{r}}}^{2}-V^{(i)}(\tilde{r}), (13)

where mr=m1m2m1+m2m_{r}=\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} is the reduced mass, and the potential V(i)(r~)=m1m2r~V^{(i)}(\tilde{r})=-\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{\tilde{r}} describes the internal gravity.

Solving the aforementioned equations that determine the motions of mass center and the internal motions allow us to give the orbit of the binary. In Fig.2 we show the orbits of one of the compact objects in the binary system. From the lower three detail images in Fig.2 one sees that, due to internal motions the orbit have small fluctuations, and thus the orbits fluctuate more frequently as mass increases. The reason roots in that if keeping other parameters fixed, the cycle of orbit becomes shorter as the mass of gravitational source increases. The fluctuations are expected to give rise to higher-frequency GWs.

2.2 the GW waveform

In the weak-field situation, the metric can be decomposed as gμν=ημν+hμνg_{\mu\nu}=\eta_{\mu\nu}+h_{\mu\nu}, where ημν\eta_{\mu\nu} is the flat metric and hμνh_{\mu\nu} is small perturbation. By introducing the traceless tensor h¯μνhμν(1/2)ημνh\bar{h}^{\mu\nu}\equiv h^{\mu\nu}-(1/2)\eta^{\mu\nu}h with h=ημνhμνh=\eta^{\mu\nu}h_{\mu\nu}, then the Einstein equations can be recast to the form

h¯μν=16πTμν.\Box\bar{h}^{\mu\nu}=-16\pi T^{\mu\nu}. (14)

Here TμνT^{\mu\nu} denotes the energy-momentum tensor of the source. In the slow motion limit, the GW is given by the quadrupole-octupole formula

h¯jk=2r[I¨jk2niS¨ijk+niM˙˙˙ijk]t=tr,\displaystyle\bar{h}^{jk}=\frac{2}{r}\left[\ddot{I}^{jk}-2n_{i}\ddot{S}^{ijk}+n_{i}\dddot{M}^{ijk}\right]_{t^{\prime}=t-r},\ (15)

with

Ijk(t)\displaystyle I^{jk}(t^{\prime}) =xjxkT00(t,𝐱)d3x,\displaystyle=\int x^{\prime j}x^{\prime k}T^{00}(t^{\prime},{\bf x^{\prime}})d^{3}x^{\prime}, (16)
Sijk(t)\displaystyle S^{ijk}(t^{\prime}) =xjxkT0i(t,𝐱)d3x,\displaystyle=\int x^{\prime j}x^{\prime k}T^{0i}(t^{\prime},{\bf x^{\prime}})d^{3}x^{\prime},
Mijk(t)\displaystyle M^{ijk}(t^{\prime}) =xixjxkT00(t,𝐱)d3x,\displaystyle=\int x^{\prime i}x^{\prime j}x^{\prime k}T^{00}(t^{\prime},{\bf x^{\prime}})d^{3}x^{\prime},

being the mass quadrupole moment, current quadrupole moment and mass octupole moment respectively, and r2=𝐱𝐱r^{2}=\bf{x}\cdot\bf{x}, 𝐧=𝐱/𝐫{\bf n}=\bf{x}/r, where 𝐱\bf{x} is the location of the observer.

In the NK prescription, a flat-space trajectory which is “equivalent” to a geodesic in Kerr spacetime is reconstructed by projecting the Boyer-Lindquist coordinates onto a fictitious spherical polar grid. A particle moving along geodesic path in Kerr spacetime can be viewed as the particle moving along curved path in flat-space, so it’s convenient for us to calculate GWs with Cartesian coordinates. In Cartesian coordinates the positions of one of the compact objects is given by

x1\displaystyle x_{1} =rsinθcosϕm2m1+m2p~1+e~cosβ~(sin(β~+γ)cosϕ0+cos(β~+γ)cosθ0sinϕ0),\displaystyle=r\sin\theta\cos\phi-\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\frac{\tilde{p}}{1+\tilde{e}\cos\tilde{\beta}}\left(\sin(\tilde{\beta}+\gamma)\cos\phi_{0}+\cos(\tilde{\beta}+\gamma)\cos\theta_{0}\sin\phi_{0}\right), (17)
y1\displaystyle y_{1} =rsinθsinϕ+m2m1+m2p~1+e~cosβ~(sin(β~+γ)sinϕ0+cos(β~+γ)cosθ0cosϕ0),\displaystyle=r\sin\theta\sin\phi+\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\frac{\tilde{p}}{1+\tilde{e}\cos\tilde{\beta}}\left(-\sin(\tilde{\beta}+\gamma)\sin\phi_{0}+\cos(\tilde{\beta}+\gamma)\cos\theta_{0}\cos\phi_{0}\right),
z1\displaystyle z_{1} =rcosθ+m2m1+m2p~1+e~cosβ~cos(β~+γ)sinθ0,\displaystyle=r\cos\theta+\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\frac{\tilde{p}}{1+\tilde{e}\cos\tilde{\beta}}\cos(\tilde{\beta}+\gamma)\sin\theta_{0},

where γ\gamma is the angle between the line connecting mass center and one of the compact objects and the line that lies in the plane of binary internal orbit and is perpendicular to the node line. For the position of the other compact object one only has to replace m2m1+m2\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} with m1m1+m2-\frac{m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} in the above expression.

The expression (15) are valid for a general extended source in flat-space. For a single mass point with mass m1m_{1} the energy-momentum tensor in flat spacetime is given by

Tμν(t,𝐱)=μdxpμdτdxpνdτδ4(xxp(τ))dτ=μ(dτdtp)2dxpμdτdxpνdτδ3(𝐱𝐱p(t)).T^{\mu\nu}(t^{\prime},{\bf x^{\prime}})=\mu\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\rm{d}x^{\prime\mu}_{p}}{\rm{d}\tau}\frac{\rm{d}x^{\prime\nu}_{p}}{\rm{d}\tau}\delta^{4}\left(x^{\prime}-x^{\prime}_{p}(\tau)\right)\;\;\rm{d}\tau=\mu\left(\frac{\rm{d}\tau}{\rm{d}t^{\prime}_{p}}\right)^{2}\frac{\rm{d}x^{\prime\mu}_{p}}{\rm{d}\tau}\frac{\rm{d}x^{\prime\nu}_{p}}{\rm{d}\tau}\delta^{3}\left({\bf x}^{\prime}-{\bf x}_{p}^{\prime}(t^{\prime})\right). (18)

For binary stars we know the energy-momentum tensor is the sum of two such terms with μ=m1\mu=m_{1} and m2m_{2} respectively. The momenta (16) now can be simplified to

Ijk\displaystyle I^{jk} =μxpjxpk,\displaystyle=\mu x^{\prime j}_{p}x^{\prime k}_{p}\;, (19)
Sijk\displaystyle S^{ijk} =viIjk,\displaystyle=v^{i}\ I^{jk}\;,
Mijk\displaystyle M^{ijk} =xpiIjk.\displaystyle=x^{\prime i}_{p}\ I^{jk}\;.

Substituting (19) into (15) one then obtains the GW generated by a mass point. For binary system the GW is the superposition of that generated by two compact objects.

where the angles {Θ,Φ}\{\Theta,\Phi\} denote the observation point’s latitude and azimuth respectively. After TT projection the waveform is given by

Figure 5: Comparisons of h+h_{+} waveforms of EMRIs and B-EMRIs by adjusting θ0\theta_{0}. The external orbit parameters are set to be p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,ι(0)=7π/9,a=0.9Mp(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,\iota(0)=7\pi/9,a=0.9M, the internal orbit parameters are set to be p~=0.005M,e~=0.2\tilde{p}=0.005M,\tilde{e}=0.2, and θ0=0,π6,π3,π2,3π4,π\theta_{0}=0,\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{\pi}{3},\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{4},\pi respectivly.

Due to the GW emissions, the compact objects will lose energy and angular momentum, although the amount of energy and angular momentum carried away by GWs is very small, the trajectory will alter accordingly, for a more precise study we consider backreaction of energy loss to the orbit. We study generic inclined-eccentric orbits of the center of mass of binary stars rather than just orbits on the equatorial plane. As we will see, since the amplitude of GW generated by internal motions of binary stars is small compared to that generated by external motions, we only consider the radiation reaction caused by the external motion of binary stars around the SBH while that caused by the internal motion is neglected. We consider the flux of generic orbits to 2nd order post-Newtonian approximation[57]

where q=a/Mq=a/M. The angle ι\iota shows the inclination of internal orbit with respect to the external orbit through the Carter constant,

We defer the expressions of the coefficients g1(e)g14(e)g_{1}(e)\sim g_{14}(e) to the Appendix. This expression of fluxes are the results of combining Tagoshi’s[46], Shibata’s [53] and Ryan’s fluxes [55, 56]. Numerical analysis indicates that these results ameliorate the unphysical inspiral properties for nearly circular and polar orbits, such as the inspiral moves rapidly away from circularity for the trajectories near zero eccentricity e=0e=0, and there is discontinuity between trajectories with ι\iota slightly less than 9090^{\circ} and those slightly above 9090^{\circ}, etc., thus the fluxes (23) produce more physical reasonable results than previous ones. From the fluxes (23), we obtain the evolution of eccentricity and semi-latus rectum

Figure 6: h+h_{+} waveforms of EMRIs and B-EMRIs with central BH of mass 108M10^{8}M_{\odot}. The masses of the binary are 8M8M_{\odot} and 10M10M_{\odot} (left panel), 30M30M_{\odot} and 30M30M_{\odot} (middle panel), and 80M80M_{\odot} and 100M100M_{\odot} (right panel). The external orbit parameters are set to be p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,ι(0)=7π/9p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,\iota(0)=7\pi/9, the internal motion parameters are set to be p~=0.004M\tilde{p}=0.004M and e~=0.2\tilde{e}=0.2.

With all the results above, we are able to calculate the GW numerically with the NK method. In Figs.3-6, we exhibit the h+h_{+} waveforms of EMRIs and B-EMRIs for different parameter selections. The orientation of the internal elliptic orbit plane is determined by the angles θ0\theta_{0} and ϕ0\phi_{0}, ϕ0\phi_{0} is fixed to be π6\frac{\pi}{6}. The observer is supposed to be located at r=Dr=D, Θ=π3\Theta=\frac{\pi}{3}, Φ=0\Phi=0. From the figure we see that, the waveforms of B-EMRIs have the identical profile as that of EMRIs, but the waveforms of B-EMRIs have oscillations which are caused by the internal motion of the binary. We will analyze the waveforms in detail in the next section.

2.3 Gravito-electromagnetic force

The internal orbit is calculated by Newtonian dynamics in Eq. 13. It is interesting and important to consider the higher order corrections e.g. the Gravito-electromagnetic force effect [60]. Unlike single free-falling compact object which always locates at the origin of the free-fall frame (FFF), every compact objects of the binary system will not locate at the origin of FFF due to the internal interaction of binary. According to equivalence principle only at the origin of FFF the spacetime is flat, if there is departure from the origin gravity will play a role. So for the binary we take into account the gravitational effects caused by the departure from the origin of FFF. For simplicity, we consider a circular orbit on the equatorial plane in the following. The natural choice of FFF is Riemann normal coordinates

ds2=(1+R0i0jxixj)c2dτ243R0jikxjxkdτdxi+(δij13Rikjlxkxl)dxidxj.ds^{2}=-\left(1+R_{0i0j}x^{i}x^{j}\right)c^{2}d\tau^{2}-\frac{4}{3}R_{0jik}x^{j}x^{k}d\tau dx^{i}+\left(\delta_{ij}-\frac{1}{3}R_{ikjl}x^{k}x^{l}\right)dx^{i}dx^{j}. (29)

If RikjlR_{ikjl}, which is small compared to R0i0jR_{0i0j} and R0jikR_{0jik}, is neglected, the metric above can be rewritten as

ds2=(12Φc2)c2dτ24c(Adx)cdτ+δijdxidxj,ds^{2}=-\left(1-2\frac{\Phi}{c^{2}}\right)c^{2}d\tau^{2}-\frac{4}{c}(\vec{A}\cdot d\vec{x})cd\tau+\delta_{ij}dx^{i}dx^{j}, (30)

where

Φ\displaystyle\Phi =12R0i0jxixj,\displaystyle=-\frac{1}{2}R_{0i0j}x^{i}x^{j}, (31)
Ai\displaystyle A_{i} =13R0jikxjxk,\displaystyle=\frac{1}{3}R_{0jik}x^{j}x^{k},

are the scalar and vector potentials of GEM fields. Analogous to the electromagnetic fields, the GEM force can be introduced

F=mE2mvc×B,\vec{F}=-m\vec{E}-2m\frac{\vec{v}}{c}\times\vec{B}, (32)

where

Ei\displaystyle E_{i} =R0i0jxj,\displaystyle=R_{0i0j}x^{j}, (33)
Bi\displaystyle B_{i} =12ϵijkR0ljkxl\displaystyle=-\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_{ijk}R_{0l}^{\;\;\;jk}x^{l}

In FFF the equations of motion of the compact object in binary system can be wriiten as

mid2xidτ2=mimjxixj|xixj|3+Fim_{i}\frac{d^{2}\vec{x}_{i}}{d\tau^{2}}=-m_{i}m_{j}\frac{\vec{x}_{i}-\vec{x}_{j}}{|\vec{x}_{i}-\vec{x}_{j}|^{3}}+\vec{F}_{i} (34)

where i=1,2i=1,2 label the compact objects which constitute the binary.

The mass of central SBH is set to be 108M10^{8}M_{\odot}, and the masses of the binary are set to be 8M8M_{\odot} and 10M10M_{\odot}. The external orbit parameters are set to be p(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,a=0.9Mp(0)=10M,e(0)=0.3,a=0.9M, the semi-major axis and eccentricity of internal orbit are set to be a~=105(m1+m2),e~=0.2\tilde{a}=10^{5}(m_{1}+m_{2}),\tilde{e}=0.2 initially. The frequency of GWs is slightly increased when GEM force is in consideration. The physical interpretation is that the effect of general relativity tends to strengthen gravity compared to the Newtonian gravity.

Although the equations of motion can be written in a simple form in FFF, it is not straightforward to calculate GEM force in FFF since Riemann tensor is conventionally derived in local non-rotating frame (LNRF). The transformations between the coordinates of LNRF (Xt,Xr,Xθ,XϕX^{t},X^{r},X^{\theta},X^{\phi}) and BL coordinates are given by

dXt\displaystyle dX^{t} =(ΣΔ/A)1/2dt,\displaystyle=(\Sigma\Delta/A)^{1/2}dt, (35)
dXr\displaystyle dX^{r} =(Σ/Δ)1/2dr,\displaystyle=(\Sigma/\Delta)^{1/2}dr,
dXθ\displaystyle dX^{\theta} =Σ1/2dθ,\displaystyle=\Sigma^{1/2}d\theta,
dXϕ\displaystyle dX^{\phi} =2Marsinθ(ΣA)1/2+(A/Σ)1/2sinθdϕ,\displaystyle=-\frac{2Mar\sin\theta}{(\Sigma A)^{1/2}}+(A/\Sigma)^{1/2}\sin\theta d\phi,

where A=(r2+a2)2a2Δsin2θA=(r^{2}+a^{2})^{2}-a^{2}\Delta\sin^{2}\theta. It’s shown Riemann tensor in LNRF takes very simple form[61, 62]. For circular orbit on the equatorial plane, the free-fall observer is moving in the XϕX^{\phi} direction with the speed[61]

u=±M1/2(r2aM1/2r1/2+a2)Δ1/2(r3/2±aM1/2)u=\frac{\pm M^{1/2}(r\mp 2aM^{1/2}r^{1/2}+a^{2})}{\Delta^{1/2}(r^{3/2}\pm aM^{1/2})} (36)

where the upper signs refer to prograde orbits and the lower ones refer to retrograde orbits. The LNRF and the local inertial frame (LIF) are connected by a Lorentz transformation

Λμμ=(γ00γβ01000010γβ00γ),\Lambda^{\mu}_{\mu^{\prime}}=\left(\begin{array}[]{cccc}\gamma&0&0&-\gamma\beta\\ 0&1&0&0\\ 0&0&1&0\\ -\gamma\beta&0&0&\gamma\\ \end{array}\right), (37)

where β=u/c,γ=1β2\beta=u/c,\gamma=\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}. Through the Lorentz transformation (37) Riemann tensor in LNRF can be transformed to the ones in LIF Rμνρσ=ΛμμΛννΛρρΛσσRμνρσR_{\mu^{\prime}\nu^{\prime}\rho^{\prime}\sigma^{\prime}}=\Lambda^{\mu}_{\mu^{\prime}}\Lambda^{\nu}_{\nu^{\prime}}\Lambda^{\rho}_{\rho^{\prime}}\Lambda^{\sigma}_{\sigma^{\prime}}R_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}. If a free gyro placed at the origin of FFF, its spin axis is fixed in FFF, but in general the gyro will precess relative to the LNRF and LIF, so there exist rotation between LIF and FFF, the angular velocity is ω=M/r3\omega=-\sqrt{M/r^{3}}[63]. The tensors in LIF and the that in FFF are connected through a rotation transformation. The components of GEM force in FFF can be given in terms of that in LIF as

Fx\displaystyle F_{x} =Frcos(ωτ)+Fϕsin(ωτ),\displaystyle=F_{r^{\prime}}\cos(\omega\tau)+F_{\phi^{\prime}}\sin(\omega\tau), (38)
Fy\displaystyle F_{y} =Fθ,\displaystyle=F_{\theta^{\prime}},
Fz\displaystyle F_{z} =Frsin(ωτ)+Fϕcos(ωτ).\displaystyle=-F_{r^{\prime}}\sin(\omega\tau)+F_{\phi^{\prime}}\cos(\omega\tau).

Substituting the GEM force (38) into the equations of motion (34) and solving the equations allows to obtain the positions of compact objects in FFF. Considering the orbit of origin of FFF is geodesic in external SBH spacetime, it’s straightforward to obtain the positions of compact objects of the binary in SBH spacetime, based on this one is able to calculate the GWs with the NK method. In Fig.7 we present the waveform of GW with and without taking into account GEM force.

3 Analysis of the waveforms

In this section, we compare the waveforms of B-EMRIs with that of EMRIs in detail. Furthermore, we investigate the modification of the waveform by considering the Gravito-electromagnetic (GEM) force effect and show that the dominated effect of GEM is a surplus phase shift. Fig.3 displays the h+h_{+} waveforms of EMRIs and B-EMRIs with different masses. One sees that the profile of GWs of EMRIs and B-EMRIs are similar, but the details are distinct. For B-EMRIs, the gravitational waveforms possess small fluctuations. This is caused by the internal motions of the binary. We see, as mass increases, both the amplitudes and the frequency of the fluctuations increase. Fig.4 displays the the h+h_{+} waveforms of EMRIs and B-EMRIs with different semi-latus rectum p~\tilde{p} of the internal orbit. The figure shows that the smaller p~\tilde{p} is, the larger the amplitude and the frequency of the fluctuation are, and vice versa. Since smaller p~\tilde{p} corresponds to small cycle or higher frequency, amplitude of the fluctuation increases as p~\tilde{p} decreases is expected.

Fig.5 displays the comparisons of the h+h_{+} waveforms between EMRIs and B-EMRIs with different θ0\theta_{0}, which shows that, as θ0\theta_{0} increases the amplitude of fluctuation first decreases and then increases, especially when θ0=0\theta_{0}=0 or θ0=π\theta_{0}=\pi the amplitude of fluctuation takes maximum value, i.e., when the rotation axis of the binary is parallel or anti-parallel to the rotation axis of the SBH, the waveforms of B-EMRIs and EMRIs take the most sharp distinction.

In Fig.6 the h+h_{+} waveforms of EMRIs and B-EMRIs with SBH weighted M=108MM=10^{8}M_{\odot} are displayed. One sees that, since the central SBH is much heavier in this case, the amplitude of fluctuation generated by binary composed of compact objects weighted 8M8M_{\odot} and 10M10M_{\odot} is very tiny. This is because for heavier BH with parameter selection p(0)=10Mp(0)=10M the cycle is much longer and frequency is much smaller. As displayed in Fig.3, like the M=106MM=10^{6}M_{\odot} case as mass increases the amplitude of fluctuation increases.

Figure 9: Frequency spectrum of the GWs in Fig.4.

To compare the waveforms of B-EMRIs and EMRIs we analyse the waveforms in frequency domain. In Fig.8 we present the frequency spectrum of the waveforms in Fig.3. One sees that, in low frequency region the spectrum of B-EMRIs coincide with that of EMRIs. In high frequency region, only the B-EMRIs have non-vanishing amplitudes of gravitational signals. Further, as mass increases, the amplitudes of signals increase, and the more and more higher-frequency signals emerge. This result agrees with the waveforms in Fig.3, where it shows as mass increases the amplitude and frequency of the fluctuations become larger. This is because, on the one hand, the amplitude of GW is proportional to the mass of the source, on the other hand, as mass increases, the cycle decreases and the frequency increases. From the GW expression (15) we know, as frequency increases the amplitude of GW increases as well.

Figure 10: Frequency spectrum of the GWs in Fig.5. In high frequency region the spectrum of EMRIs is definitely different from the spectrum of B-EMRIs. We can distinguish B-EMRIs from EMRIs without question in frequency domain by using the data from space-based GW detectors.

In Fig.9, we give the frequency spectrum of the GWs in Fig.4. We can see, as p~\tilde{p} decreases, the amplitude of GW signal increases, and more and more high-frequency signals emerge, and vice versa. This agrees with what the waveform shows. Since the smaller p~\tilde{p} is, the shorter the cycle is, and the higher the frequency is, so the amplitude of the signal increases. In Fig.10 we give the frequency spectrum of the waveforms in Fig.5 with distinct θ0\theta_{0}. We can see, for distinct θ0\theta_{0}, the frequency range is not significantly different. The amplitude of the signals with different frequency first decreases and then increases. For θ0=0\theta_{0}=0 or θ0=π\theta_{0}=\pi, the amplitude of the signals takes the maximum value, which agrees with the waveforms in Fig.5.

When GEM force is taken into account, phase shift between the GW waveforms of B-EMRIs and that of EMRIs emerges, as shown in Fig.7. It’s sensitive and valuable to calculate mismatch of the two waveforms to quantify the distinction between them. The inner product of two signals is defined as

x,h=20+x~(f)h~(f)+x~(f)h~(f)Sh(f)𝑑f,\displaystyle\langle x,h\rangle=2\int_{0}^{+\infty}\frac{\tilde{x}(f)\tilde{h}^{*}(f)+\tilde{x}^{*}(f)\tilde{h}(f)}{S_{h}(f)}df, (39)

where x~(f)\tilde{x}(f) and h~(f)\tilde{h}(f) are the Fourier transformations of time-domain signals x(t)x(t) and h(t)h(t)

x~(f)=x(t)ei2πtf𝑑t,h~(f)=h(t)ei2πtf𝑑t.\displaystyle\tilde{x}(f)=\int^{\infty}_{-\infty}x(t)e^{-i2\pi tf}dt,\quad\quad\quad\quad\tilde{h}(f)=\int^{\infty}_{-\infty}h(t)e^{-i2\pi tf}dt. (40)

Here * denotes the complex conjugate of a quantity, and Sh(f)S_{h}(f) in (41) is the one-sided noise power spectral density of LISA [59], which is significant for surveying the types of sources that can be detected by the LISA mission.

With the inner product defined in (39), the overlap of two signals is given by

𝒪=x,hx,xh,h.\mathcal{O}=\frac{\langle x,h\rangle}{\sqrt{\langle x,x\rangle}\sqrt{\langle h,h\rangle}}. (41)

Mismatch of two GW signals is defined as

Δ=1𝒪.\Delta=1-\mathcal{O}. (42)

There is a criterion that if two signals are distinguishable the mismatch Δ\Delta and signal-noise-ratio (SNR) ρ\rho should satisfy[64, 65, 66, 67, 68]

Δ12ρ2,\Delta\geq\frac{1}{2\rho^{2}}, (43)

where the SNR ρ\rho is defined as ρ=h,h\rho=\sqrt{\langle h,h\rangle} for a signal hh. For LISA, the SNR is taken to be ρ=20\rho=20[16]. Calculation shows for the two waveforms in the first panel of Fig.7 Δ=0.003921\Delta=0.003921, for the two waveforms in the second panel of Fig.7 Δ=0.03922\Delta=0.03922, which means when taking into account GEM force the waveforms of B-EMRIs are distinguishable from the waveforms of B-EMRIs that does not take into account GEM force, and are distinguishable from the waveforms of EMRIs as well.

4 Conclusion and Discussion

In this paper we study the GWs emanated from B-EMRIs which is composed of a central SBH and binary revolving around it. B-EMRIs are quite popular in the universe, and remarkable objects for GW detectors of next generation. We demonstrate that the waveform of B-EMRIs is distinctly different from that of EMRIs in frequency domain, and show that the mismatch can be effectively probed by the space-based GW detectors such as LISA, Taiji, and Tianqin. Our results will improve template construction for B-EMRIs and shed light on detection of GWs from B-EMRIs.

We solve the GW equations by taking into account the mass quadrupole, mass octupole and current quadrupole moments of the source. For the radiation reaction we take the hybrid 2nd order post-Newtonian approximation which is applicable to generic inclined-eccentric orbits. We plot the GW waveforms of B-EMRIs and compare the waveforms of B-EMRIs with that of EMRIs of single star. The results show that, the waveforms generated by single stellar-mass compact object share the same profile with the ones generated by binary compact objects, but the details of the waveforms of B-EMRIs exhibit fluctuations. The fluctuations are caused by internal motions of the binary. As masses of the compact objects of binary increase, the amplitudes and frequencies of the fluctuations increase. This is because, on the one hand, the amplitude of GW is proportional to the mass of the source. On the other hand, the increase of mass of gravitational source cause the decrease of cycle, so the frequency increases, which increases the amplitude further. We fix other parameters and only adjust the semi-latus rectum of internal orbits p~\tilde{p}, the result shows that, as p~\tilde{p} decreases, the amplitudes and frequencies of the fluctuations increase. This is because, as p~\tilde{p} decreases, the cycle of internal motion decreases, the frequency increases, which causes the increase of amplitudes of GWs. We fix other parameters and adjust the angle θ0\theta_{0} between axes zz and z0z_{0}, the results show that, when θ0=0\theta_{0}=0 or π\pi the amplitudes of GW fluctuations caused by binary internal motions are larger than the cases when θ0\theta_{0} takes other values, which means when θ0=0\theta_{0}=0 or π\pi the GWs of B-EMRIs are most easily distinguished from that of EMRIs.

For the binary on the equatorial plane of SBH, we further take in account GEM force and calculate the GWs of B-EMRIs. By comparing with both the waveforms of B-EMRIs that does not take into account GEM force and the waveforms of EMRIs, it’s easy to find there is phase shift between the related two waveforms.

To compare the GWs of EMRIs and B-EMRIs further we perform the frequency spectrum analysis. The results show that, at low-frequency region, the frequency spectrum of B-EMRIs coincide with that of EMRIs. At high-frequency region, the frequency spectrum of B-EMRIs and EMRIs are different. As masses of the binary increase, more high-frequency signals emerge, and the amplitudes of the GW signals increase, which agrees with the waveforms show us. We give the frequency spectrum of GWs generated by binary with distinct semi-latus rectum of internal orbits p~\tilde{p}, the results show that, as p~\tilde{p} decreases, more high-frequency signals emerge, and the amplitude of the GW signals increase, since smaller p~\tilde{p} corresponds to shorter cycle and higher-frequency orbit motions, higher-frequency orbit motions generate GWs with higher amplitudes. If we adjust the angle θ0\theta_{0} between axes zz and z0z_{0}, frequency spectrum show that when θ0=0\theta_{0}=0 or π\pi the amplitudes of GWs are larger than that of GWs when θ0\theta_{0} takes other values, this agrees with what the waveforms show us as well. So the GW signals of B-EMRIs can be clearly distinguished from that of EMRIs through spectrum analysis, the GW signals generated by binary with larger mass, closer distance are more easily to be distinguished from that generated by single compact object. Moreover, when rotation axis of the binary is parallel or anti-parallel to that of the central SBH, the GW signals of B-EMRIs are more easily to be distinguished from that of EMRIs. When taking into account GEM force, we analyze the waveforms by calculating mismatch, calculation shows the GW waveforms of B-EMRIs are distinguishable from the waveforms of B-EMRIs that does not take into account GEM force and from the waveforms of EMRIs.
