Host galaxy identification for binary black hole mergers with long baseline gravitational wave detectors
arXiv:1711.07331 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stx3077
Abstract
The detection of three black hole binary coalescence events by Advanced LIGO allows the science benefits of future detectors to be evaluated. In this paper we report the science benefits of one or two 8km arm length detectors based on the doubling of key parameters in an advanced LIGO type detector, combined with realisable enhancements. It is shown that the total detection rate for sources similar to those already detected, would increase to 10--10 per year. Within 0.4Gpc we find that around 10 of these events would be localizable to within deg. This is sufficient to make unique associations or to rule out a direct association with the brightest galaxies in optical surveys (at r-band magnitudes of 17 or above) or for deeper limits (down to r-band magnitudes of 20) yield statistically significant associations. The combination of angular resolution and event rate would benefit precision testing of formation models, cosmic evolution and cosmological studies.
