DECIGO: The Japanese space gravitational wave antenna

Abstract: DECIGO (DECI-hertz interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory) is the future Japanese space gravitational wave antenna with observation band around 0.1 Hz. It aims at detecting gravitational waves from various kinds of sources, with sufficient sensitivity to establish the gravitational wave astronomy. In the pre-conceptual design, DECIGO is formed by three drag-free spacecraft, 1000 km apart from one another. The relative displacements between proof masses housed in these spacecraft are measured by Fabry-Pe… Show more

“…Most of the laser power entering the interferometer is scattered into the surrounding vacuum system. For all of the interferometers, the measured optical losses were significantly higher than expected from the initial, tabletop measurements (Sato et al, 1999). A small fraction of the losses came from absorption in the mirror substrate and on the high-reflectivity dielectric mirror coatings within the FabryPérot arms (in the case of LIGO, Virgo, and TAMA) (Hild et al, 2006;Brooks et al, 2009).…”

“…We defer more thorough study of possible detection by currently planned GW detectors (advanced LIGO, NGO, DECIGO, etc. ), but do note that these signal amplitudes are weak (advanced LIGO [46] and probable modes of operation of DECIGO [47,48] offer strain sensitivities of ∼ 10 −24 − 10 −23 ). Thus, the exact parameters of the jet, as well as the jet's internal structure model, might affect the possibility of detection.…”

“…This is the first time that we are able to study the Universe with both vision and hearing. This multi-messenger observations of both gravitational wave (GW) and their electromagnetic (EM) counterparts allow us to use gravitational wave (GW) as standard sirens [3]: the intrinsic total gravitational luminosity can be derived to unprecedented precision from the precise way in which GW evolves, given the much higher sensitivity of the future ground-and space-based GW experiments such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) [4], 40-km LIGO [5], eLISA [6], and DECIGO [7]; then coupled to the measured absolute strain amplitude of GW, the luminosity distance D cos to the source can be accurately determined as well; finally, from the EM counterpart, a unique host galaxy can be identified, which makes it possible to obtain a spectroscopic redshift follow-up z obs . As such, GW provides a new technique to measure the Hubble constant from nearby galaxies (redshift z 1)…”
