Inverse-chirp signals and spontaneous scalarisation with self-interacting potentials in stellar collapse
arXiv:1903.09704 · doi:10.1088/1361-6382/ab256f
Abstract
We study how the gravitational wave signal from stellar collapse in scalar-tensor gravity varies under the influence of scalar self-interaction. To this end, we extract the gravitational radiation from numerical simulations of stellar collapse for a range of potentials with higher-order terms in addition to the quadratic mass term. Our study includes collapse to neutron stars and black holes and we find the strong inverse-chirp signals obtained for the purely quadratic potential to be exceptionally robust under changes in the potential at higher orders; quartic and sextic terms in the potential lead to noticeable differences in the wave signal only if their contribution is amplified, implying a relative fine-tuning to within 5 or more orders of magnitude between the mass and self-interaction parameters.
