Abstract

Proposed space-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors such as DECIGO and BBO will detect ~ 106 neutron-star (NS) binaries and determine the luminosity distances to the binaries with high precision. Combining the luminosity distances with cosmologically-induced phase corrections on the GWs, cosmological expansion out to high redshift can be measured without the redshift determinations of host galaxies by electromagnetic observation and can be a unique probe for dark energy. This article is based on the results obtained in [1] where we investigated constraining power of the GW standard siren without redshift information on the equation of state of dark energy with future space-based GW detectors. We also compare the results with those obtained with other instruments and methods.
