Toward Cosmological Standard Timers in Primordial Black Hole Binaries

Abstract

We propose that primordial black hole (PBH) binary systems can lead to standard timers in tracking the evolution of the Universe. Through gravitational waves from monochromatic PBH binaries, the probability distribution on major axis and eccentricity from the same redshift is obtained. By studying the dynamical evolution of PBH binaries from the initial probability distribution to observed redshifted ones, the redshift-time calibration can be extracted, which can constrain cosmological models. A general formalism of the standard timer is further concluded based on the evolution of statistical distribution in dynamical systems.
