The Hubble parameter is one of the central parameters in modern cosmology, and describes the present expansion rate of the universe. The values of the parameter inferred from late-time observations are systematically higher than those inferred from early-time measurements by about [Formula: see text]. To reach a robust conclusion, independent probes with accuracy at percent levels are crucial. Gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence events can be formulated into the standard siren approach to provide an independent Hubble parameter measurement. The future space-borne gravitational wave observatory network, such as the LISA-Taiji network, will be able to measure the gravitational wave signals in the millihertz bands with unprecedented accuracy. By including several statistical and instrumental noises, we show that, within a five-year operation time, the LISA-Taiji network is able to constrain the Hubble parameter within [Formula: see text] accuracy, and possibly beats the scatters down to [Formula: see text] or even better.
哈勃参数是现代宇宙学的核心参数之一,它描述了宇宙当前的膨胀率。从晚期观测推断出的该参数值系统地比从早期测量推断出的值高约[公式:见原文]。为了得出可靠的结论,精度达到百分比水平的独立探测至关重要。致密双星并合事件产生的引力波可以用标准的引力波源方法来进行独立的哈勃参数测量。未来的星载引力波观测网络,如丽莎 - 太极网络,将能够以前所未有的精度测量毫赫兹频段的引力波信号。通过纳入多种统计和仪器噪声,我们表明,在五年的运行时间内,丽莎 - 太极网络能够将哈勃参数限制在[公式:见原文]的精度范围内,并且有可能将离散度降低到[公式:见原文]甚至更好。
