Identifying the source of GWs and their spectra at present turns out to be important tasks so as to assist the experimental detection of stochastic GW signal. In this paper, we investigate oscillations of the ultralight dark photon (ULDP) into GWs in the dark halo. Assuming dark matter is composed of the ULDP and there are primordial dark magnetic fields (PDMFs) arising from the axion inflation and/or the dark phase transition, then the ULDP can oscillate into the GW when it passes through an environment of PDMFs. We derive the local energy density of GWs in the galaxy cluster induced by the instaneous oscillation of ULDP in the PDMFs. These stochastic local GWs exhibit a pulse-like spectrum, with frequency depending on the mass of the ULDP, and can be detected in Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) or future space-based interferometers. We also find that the low-frequency GW signal observed by the NANOGrav collaboration and other PTA experiments can be addressed by the oscillation of the ULDP in the PDMFs in the early universe.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54712,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Physics B","volume":"1009 ","pages":"Article 116740"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the consideration of the interaction between the black hole and cosmological horizons, this paper studies the thermodynamic properties of Kalb-Ramond-de Sitter (KR-dS) spacetime. The Smarr relation expressed by equivalent thermodynamic quantities is found, and it is proved that the equivalent thermodynamic quantities of the KR-dS spacetime satisfy the universal Euler's theorem. It is discovered that the heat capacity of the KR-dS spacetime with respect to the ratio of the two horizons and the variation curve of the heat capacity with effective temperature possess the characteristics of Schottky specific heat. Moreover, the black hole and the cosmological horizon in the equivalent thermodynamic system are regarded as two different energy levels, and the heat capacity of the KR-dS spacetime is discussed using the general form given by the ordinary two-level system. It is found that the heat capacity of KR-dS spacetime described by equivalent thermodynamic quantities not only conforms to the characteristics of Schottky specific heat but also is consistent with the heat capacity of the ordinary two-level system. This result reflects that when the cosmological constant and the charged carried in the KR-dS spacetime remain unchanged, the heat capacity of the system can be represented by a universal two-level system. By comparing the maximum value of the heat capacity curves, the number of microscopic particles between the two horizons can be estimated, which reflects the quantum properties of the KR-dS spacetime.
