Gravitational wave lensing as a probe of halo properties and dark matter

Giovanni Tambalo, Miguel Zumalacárregui, Liang Dai +1

Just like light, gravitational waves (GWs) are deflected and magnified by gravitational fields as they propagate through the Universe. However, their low frequency, phase coherence…
