摘要： Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences encode the absolute luminosity distances of GW sources. Once the redshifts of GW sources are known, one can use the distance-redshift relation to constrain cosmological parameters. One way to obtain the redshifts is to localize GW sources by GW observations and then use galaxy catalogs to determine redshifts from a statistical analysis of redshift information of the potential host galaxies, and such GW data are commonly referred to as dark sirens. The third-generation (3G) GW detectors are planned to work in the 2030s and will observe numerous compact binary coalescences. Using these GW events as dark sirens requires high-quality galaxy catalogs from future sky survey projects. The China Space Station Telescope (CSST) will be launched in 2024 and will observe billions of galaxies within a 17500 deg$^2$ survey area up to $z\sim 4$, providing photometric and spectroscopic galaxy catalogs. In this work, we simulate the CSST galaxy catalog and the 5-year GW data, and combine them to infer the Hubble constant ($H_0$). Our results show that the measurement precision of $H_0$ could reach better than $0.005\%$, which is an astonishing precision for the Hubble constant measurement. We conclude that the synergy between the 3G GW detectors and CSST will be of far-reaching importance in dark-siren cosmology.

摘要： Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be used to measure the Hubble constant by employing the Macquart relation. However, at present, only a small number of FRB events are localized to their host galaxies with known redshifts. In this paper, we develop a Bayesian method to statistically measure the Hubble constant using unlocalized FRBs and galaxy catalog data, which makes it possible to constrain cosmological parameters by using a large number of FRB data without known redshift information. Using the six FRB events observed by ASKAP combined with the big bang nucleosynthesis result, we obtain $H_0=71.7^{+8.8}_{-7.4}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ in the simulation-based case and $H_0=71.5^{+10.0}_{-8.1}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ in the observation-based case ($68\%$ highest-density interval), assuming different host galaxy population parameters. We also estimate that in the next few years, using thousands of FRBs could achieve a $3\%$ precision on the random error of the Hubble constant.

摘要： We investigate an extended cosmological model motivated by the asymptotic safety of gravitational field theory, in which the matter and radiation densities and the cosmological constant receive a correction parametrized by the parameters $\delta_G$ and $\delta_\Lambda$, leading to that both the evolutions of the matter and radiation densities and the cosmological constant slightly deviate from the standard forms. Here we explain this model as a scenario of vacuum energy interacting with matter and radiation. We consider two cases of the model: {(i) ${\tilde\Lambda}$CDM with one additional free parameter $\delta_G$, with $\delta_{\rm G}$ and $\delta_\Lambda$ related by a low-redshift limit relation and (ii) e${\tilde\Lambda}$CDM with two additional free parameters $\delta_G$ and $\delta_\Lambda$ that are independent of each other.} We use two data combinations, CMB+BAO+SN (CBS) and CMB+BAO+SN+$H_0$ (CBSH), to constrain the models. We find that, in the case of using the CBS data, neither ${\tilde\Lambda}$CDM nor e${\tilde\Lambda}$CDM can effectively alleviate the $H_0$ tension. However, it is found that using the CBSH data the $H_0$ tension can be greatly relieved by the models. In particular, in the case of e${\tilde\Lambda}$CDM, the $H_0$ tension can be resolved to 0.71$\sigma$. We conclude that as an interacting dark energy model, ${\tilde\Lambda}$CDM is much better than $\Lambda(t)$CDM in the sense of both relieving the $H_0$ tension and fitting to the current observational data.

摘要： Interacting dark energy (IDE) scenario assumes that there exists a direct interaction between dark energy and cold dark matter, but this interaction is hard to be tightly constrained by the current data. Finding new cosmological probes to precisely measure this interaction could deepen our understanding of dark energy and dark matter. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) will be seen in large numbers by future radio telescopes, and thus they have potential to become a promising low-redshift cosmological probe. In this work, we investigate the capability of future FRBs of constraining the dimensionless coupling parameter $\beta$ in four phenomenological IDE models. We find that in the IDE models with the interaction proportional to the energy density of dark energy, about $10^5$ FRB data can give constraint on $\beta$ tighter than the current cosmic microwave background data. In all the IDE models, about $10^6$ FRB data can constrain the absolute errors of $\beta$ to less than $0.10$, providing a way to precisely measure $\beta$ by only one cosmological probe. The reconstruction of the interaction term also shows that the FRB data could help constrain the redshift evolution of interaction.

摘要： Recently, about five hundred fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by CHIME/FRB Project have been reported. The vast amounts of data would make FRBs a promising low-redshift cosmological probe in the forthcoming years, and thus the issue of how many FRBs are needed for precise cosmological parameter estimation in different dark energy models should be detailedly investigated. Different from the usually considered $w(z)$-parameterized models in the literature, in this work we investigate the holographic dark energy (HDE) model and the Ricci dark energy (RDE) model, which originate from the holographic principle of quantum gravity, using the simulated localized FRB data as a cosmological probe for the first time. We show that the Hubble constant $H_0$ can be constrained to about 2% precision in the HDE model with the Macquart relation of FRB by using 10000 accurately-localized FRBs combined with the current CMB data, which is similar to the precision of the SH0ES value. Using 10000 localized FRBs combined with the CMB data can achieve about 6% constraint on the dark-energy parameter $c$ in the HDE model, which is tighter than the current BAO data combined with CMB. We also study the combination of the FRB data and another low-redshift cosmological probe, i.e. gravitational wave (GW) standard siren data, with the purpose of measuring cosmological parameters independent of CMB. Although the parameter degeneracies inherent in FRB and in GW are rather different, we find that more than 10000 FRBs are demanded to effectively improve the constraints in the holographic dark energy models.
