Using overlap of sky localization probability maps for filtering potentially lensed pairs of gravitational-wave signals
Henry W. Y. Wong, Lok W. L. Chan, Isaac C. F. Wong +2
Strong gravitational lensing creates multiple images of a gravitational wave transient. The current state-of-the-art method for identifying such lensing events is a computationally…
Phase consistency test to identify type II strongly lensed gravitational wave signals using a single event
Kelsie Taylor, Derek Davis, Rico K. L. Lo
For gravitationally lensed type II signals, the phase of the dominant (2, 2) mode and the higher order (3, 3) mode is offset by , or roughly -0.26 radians. Using this, we d…
lenscat: a Public and Community-Contributed Catalog of Known Strong Gravitational Lenses
L. Vujeva, R. K. L. Lo, J. M. Ezquiaga +1
We present lenscat, a public and community-contributed catalog of strong gravitational lenses found by electromagnetic surveys. The main objective of lenscat is to compile a simple…
Recipes for computing radiation from a Kerr black hole using a generalized Sasaki-Nakamura formalism: Homogeneous solutions
Rico K. L. Lo
Central to black hole perturbation theory calculations is the Teukolsky equation that governs the propagation and the generation of radiation emitted by Kerr black holes. However,…
