Probing globular clusters parameters through gravitational wave lensing with stellar-mass black hole binaries

Sreekanth Harikumar, Abbas Askar, Michał Bejger +3

Globular clusters (GCs) can act as gravitational lenses for gravitational waves(GWs) in the wave-optics regime, imprinting frequency-dependent signatures on the observed signal. We…

Impact of the Einstein Telescope's duty cycle on the estimation of binary black holes parameters

Luca Negri, Thomas C. K. Ng, Thibeau Wouters +13

The geometry of the Einstein Telescope, the proposed next-generation European gravitational-wave observatory, is yet to be finalized. Two competing designs are under consideration:…
