Self-lensing of moving gravitational-wave sources can break the microlensing crossing timescale degeneracy

Helena Ubach

When a moving gravitational-wave (GW) source travels behind a massive astrophysical object, its signal is gravitationally lensed, showing a waveform distortion similar to a Paczyńs…

Constraining the environment of compact binary mergers with self-lensing signatures

Helena Ubach, Mark Gieles, Jordi Miralda-Escudé

Gravitational waves (GWs) from coalescing binary black holes (BBHs) can come from different environments. GWs interact gravitationally with astrophysical objects, which makes it po…

Multi-messenger Gravitational Lensing

Graham P. Smith, Tessa Baker, Simon Birrer +38

We introduce the rapidly emerging field of multi-messenger gravitational lensing - the discovery and science of gravitationally lensed phenomena in the distant universe through the…

Sonification of gravitationally lensed gravitational waves / Sonificació de l'efecte de lent gravitatòria en ones gravitacionals

Helena Ubach, Jordi Espuny

Gravitational waves are oscillations of space-time that are created, for example, in black hole mergers. If these waves travel through another massive astrophysical object, they wi…

Compact Binaries through a Lens: Silent vs. Detectable Microlensing for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Gravitational Wave Observatories

Ruxandra Bondarescu, Helena Ubach, Oleg Bulashenko +1

Massive objects located between Earth and a compact binary merger can act as a magnifying glass improving the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors to distant events. Dependi…

Lensing of gravitational waves: universal signatures in the beating pattern

Oleg Bulashenko, Helena Ubach

When gravitational waves propagate near massive objects, their paths curve resulting in gravitational lensing, which is expected to be a promising new instrument in astrophysics. I…
