We explore a potential LISA-Taiji network to fast and accurately localize the coalescing massive black hole binaries. For an equal-mass binary located at redshift of 1 with a total intrinsic mass of 10 , the LISA-Taiji network may achieve almost four orders of magnitude improvement on the source localization region compared to an individual detector. The precision measurement of sky location from the gravitational-wave signal may completely identify the host galaxy with low redshifts prior to the final black hole merger. Such identification of the host galaxy is vital for the follow-up variability in electromagnetic emissions of the circumbinary disc when the binary merges to a new black hole and enables the coalescing massive black hole binaries to be used as a standard siren to probe the expansion history of the Universe.
我们探索了一种潜在的LISA-太极网络,用于快速、准确地定位合并的大质量黑洞双星。对于一个位于红移为1、总固有质量为10 的等质量双星,与单个探测器相比,LISA-太极网络在源定位区域上可能实现近四个数量级的改进。从引力波信号对天空位置的精确测量可能在最终黑洞合并之前完全识别出低红移的宿主星系。当双星合并成一个新黑洞时,宿主星系的这种识别对于双星盘电磁辐射的后续变化至关重要,并使合并的大质量黑洞双星能够用作标准警笛来探测宇宙的膨胀历史。
