Gravitational Wave Interference via Gravitational Lensing: Measurements of Luminosity Distance, Lens Mass, and Cosmological Parameters

Shaoqi Hou, Xi-Long Fan, Kai Liao +1

The gravitational lensing of gravitational waves might cause beat patterns detectable by interferometers. The feature of this kind of signal is the existence of the beat pattern in…

Measuring the distances to quasars at high redshifts with strong lensing

Kai Liao

Strongly lensed quasars with time-delay measurements are well known to provide the "time-delay distances" and the angular diameter distances to lens g…

A model-independent determination of the Hubble constant from lensed quasars and supernovae using Gaussian process regression

Kai Liao, Arman Shafieloo, Ryan E. Keeley +1

Strongly lensed quasar systems with time delay measurements provide "time delay distances", which are a combination of three angular diameter distances and serve as powerful tools…

Calibrating the standard candles with strong lensing

Xudong Wen, Kai Liao

We propose a new model-independent strategy to calibrate the distance relation in Type Ia supernova (SN) observations and to probe the intrinsic properties of SNe Ia, especially th…

The cosmic distance duality relation with strong lensing and gravitational waves: an opacity-free test

Kai Liao

The cosmic distance duality relation (CDDR) is a fundamental assumption in cosmological studies. Given the redshift , it relates luminosity distance with angular diameter…

Constraints on cosmic curvature with lensing time delays and gravitational waves

Kai Liao

Assuming the CDM model, the CMB and BAO observations indicate a very flat Universe. Model-independent measurements are therefore worth studying. Time delays measured in lensed q…
