Strong-Field Gravitational-Wave Lensing from Ray-Traced Arrival-Time Surfaces
Luka Vujeva, João S. Santos, Brian C. Seymour
The diffraction integral formalism has been greatly successful in describing gravitational wave lensing effects in scenarios where the wavelength of the signal is comparable to the…
Strong Field Gravitational Lensing in Full Wave Optics
João Sieiro dos Santos, Luka Vujeva
Compact binaries evolving in the vicinity of massive black holes may be commonplace in the Universe, and their gravitational waves carry signatures of their environment. We study t…
Discovering gravitational waveform distortions from lensing: A deep dive into GW231123
Juno C. L. Chan, Jose María Ezquiaga, Rico K. L. Lo +3
Gravitational waves (GWs) are unique messengers as they travel through the Universe without alteration except for gravitational lensing. Their long wavelengths make them susceptibl…
Diffraction around caustics in gravitational wave lensing
Jose María Ezquiaga, Rico K. L. Lo, Luka Vujeva
Gravitational lensing magnification is maximal around caustics. At these source locations, an incoming wave from a point source would formally experience an infinite amplification…
Lensing and wave optics in the strong field of a black hole
Juno C. L. Chan, Conor Dyson, Matilde Garcia +2
Gravitational waves (GWs) are lensed by matter, offering a unique probe of both the large-scale structure of the Universe and the fundamental properties of GW propagation. GWs can…
What is the nature of GW230529? An exploration of the gravitational lensing hypothesis
Justin Janquart, David Keitel, Rico K. L. Lo +26
On the 29th of May 2023, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration observed a compact binary coalescence event consistent with a neutron star-black hole merger, though the heavier object…
Observational Signatures of Highly Magnified Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescence
Rico K. L. Lo, Luka Vujeva, Jose María Ezquiaga +1
Gravitational lensing has empowered telescopes to discover astronomical objects that are otherwise out of reach without being highly magnified by foreground structures. While we ex…
