Toward more realistic machine-learning inference of the dense-matter equation of state from supernova gravitational waves
从超新星引力波以更真实条件机器学习推断致密物质状态方程
Gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae offer a unique probe of the equation of state (EOS) of dense nuclear matter. For rapidly rotating stars, previous machine-learning studies demonstrated promising EOS classification accuracy. However, these analyses relied on several simplifying assumptions. In this work, we relax three key assumptions. First, we include real detector noise. Second, we expand the analysis from a single progenitor model to four models spanning 12─40 solar masses, and for each mass we consider multiple rotational configurations, from slow to rapid. Third, we introduce uncertainty in the core-bounce time of up to 20 ms, rather than assuming it is known precisely. We find that none of these effects significantly degrades EOS classification performance. Instead, the larger dataset associated with multiple progenitor models and noise realizations improves training and classification accuracy. This study is a step in a broader effort to progressively incorporate more realistic conditions into gravitational-wave inference for core-collapse supernovae.

这项工作延续了从旋转核坍缩弹跳引力波中用机器学习分类致密物质 EOS 的研究路线:Abylkairov+ 2024 与 Mitra+ 2024 已在简化噪声和单一前身星条件下证明该方法可行。本文首次将真实 LIGO O4a 噪声、12–40 M⊙ 的四个前身星模型以及最大 20 ms 的弹跳时间不确定性同时纳入分析,发现三者均未显著降低 EOS 分类精度。频域表示对时间偏移尤其稳健,且扩大数据集可继续提升性能。未来工作需从离散 EOS 分类转向参数化 EOS 回归,并纳入三维湍流、非最优指向和探测器网络响应等更真实条件。
