ResumoAn evolving Japanese gravitational-wave (GW) mission in the deci-Hz band: B-DECIGO (DECihertz laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory) will enable us to detect GW150914-like binary black holes, GW170817-like binary neutron stars, and intermediate-mass binary black holes out to cosmological distances. The B-DECIGO band slots in between the aLIGO-Virgo-KAGRA-IndIGO (hecto-Hz) and LISA (milli-Hz) bands for broader bandwidth; the sources described emit GWs for weeks to years across the multiband to accumulate high signal-to-noise ratios. This suggests the possibility that joint detection would greatly improve the parameter estimation of the binaries. We examine B-DECIGO's ability to measure binary parameters and assess to what extent multiband analysis could improve such measurement. Using non-precessing post-Newtonian waveforms with the Fisher matrix approach, we find for systems like GW150914 and GW170817 that B-DECIGO can measure the mass ratio to within $< 0.1\%$, the individual black-hole spins to within $< 10\%$, and the coalescence time to within $< 5\,$s about a week before alerting aLIGO and electromagnetic facilities. Prior information from B-DECIGO for aLIGO can further reduce the uncertainty in the measurement of, e.g., certain neutron star tidally-induced deformations by factor of $\sim 6$, and potentially determine the spin-induced neutron star quadrupole moment. Joint LISA and B-DECIGO measurement will also be able to recover the masses and spins of intermediate-mass binary black holes at percent-level precision. However, there will be a large systematic bias in these results due to post-Newtonian approximation of exact GW signals.
