Analysis shows gravitational wave memory from multiple shells in gamma-ray bursts, suggesting improved detectability with future detectors.
Gravitational wave (GW) memory, a permanent distortion of the space-time metric, is anticipated during the acceleration of relativistic jets in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). While the precise mechanism behind GRBs is not yet fully understood, detecting GW memory may contribute to clarifying their nature. In this paper, we consider various scenarios of GW memory emission, including both single and multiple shells with thin and thick shells. In particular, the memory spectrum for each scenario is compared with the sensitivity of next-generation detectors, namely Deci-hertz Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Einstein Telescope. Physical properties spread over a broad-band region, emphasizing the importance of combined and wide-band observations. We also simulate GW memory based on nearby, realistic scenarios and demonstrate its detectability.
