On the Presence of a Tertiary Compact Object in GW190814

Lalit Pathak, Hemantakumar Phurailatpam, Achamveedu Gopakumar

Gravitational waves from merging compact binaries are sensitive to line-of-sight acceleration (LOSA) induced by a massive companion in their vicinity. Interestingly, the leading-or…

Joint Bayesian Source and Lens Reconstruction for Multi-messenger Binary Black Holes

Laura Uronen, Tian Li, Justin Janquart +5

If a gravitational wave event is lensed by a cluster or galaxy in our line-of-sight, it is expected that its host galaxy would also be lensed. Therefore, connecting lensed gravitat…

Strong gravitational-wave lensing posterior odds

Otto A. Hannuksela, K. Haris, Justin Janquart +4

Like light, gravitational waves are gravitationally lensed by intervening massive astrophysical objects, such as galaxies, clusters, black holes, and stars, resulting in a variety…

Constraining initial orbital eccentricity of inspiral-dominated gravitational-wave events with an analytic approximant

Hemantakumar Phurailatpam, Gopakumar Achamveedu, Maria Haney +2

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA consortium has sporadically detected inspiral-dominated gravitational-wave events such as GW170817 and GW190425. These events offer an opportunity to constrain…

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…

Finding Black Holes: an Unconventional Multi-messenger

Laura E. Uronen, Tian Li, Justin Janquart +5

A rather clear problem has remained in black hole physics: localizing black holes. One of the recent theoretical ways proposed to identify black hole mergers' hosts is through mult…

Uncovering faint lensed gravitational-wave signals and reprioritizing their follow-up analysis using galaxy lensing forecasts with detected counterparts

Leo C. Y. Ng, Justin Janquart, Hemantakumar Phurailatpam +4

Like light, gravitational waves can be gravitationally lensed by massive astrophysical objects. Strong gravitational lensing by galaxies and galaxy clusters is anticipated to becom…

Follow-up Analyses to the O3 LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Lensing Searches

Justin Janquart, Mick Wright, Srashti Goyal +28

Along their path from source to observer, gravitational waves may be gravitationally lensed by massive objects. This results in distortions of the observed signal which can be used…
