Probing Dark Matter Substructure with Wave-Optics Distortions of Strongly Lensed LISA Gravitational Waves

Tonghua Liu, Kai Liao, Marek Biesiada +1

Strong lensing changes the phase of a gravitational-wave signal as well as its amplitude and arrival time. We study whether this phase information can distinguish three dark-matter…

Finite-Core Signatures in LISA-Band Wave-Optics Lensing by Low-Mass Dark Matter Halos

Dejiang Li, Tonghua Liu, Kai Liao +3

LISA-band gravitational waves from massive binary black holes can be diffractively lensed by low-mass dark matter halos and subhalos, so their frequency-dependent amplification can…

Mock Catalogs of Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves via A Halo Model Approach with Ground-based Detectors

Youkai Li, Kai Liao, Mingqi Sun +4

As plans for the construction of third-generation gravitational wave (GW) detectors advance, research into strongly lensed GWs has become increasingly critical. It is anticipated t…

Torsion cosmology in the light of DESI, supernovae and CMB observational constraints

Tonghua Liu, Xiaolei Li, Tengpeng Xu +2

In this work, we investigate a torsion-based cosmological model within the Einstei-Cartan framework, constrained by the latest combined datasets including DESI DR2 BAO, PantheonPlu…

Identifying Microlensing by Compact Dark Matter through Diffraction Patterns in Gravitational Waves with Machine Learning

Ao Liu, Tonghua Liu, Dejiang Li +5

Gravitational wave lensing, particularly microlensing by compact dark matter (DM), offers a unique avenue to probe the nature of dark matter. However, conventional detection method…

Identification of Strongly Lensed Gravitational Wave Events Using Squeeze-and-Excitation Multilayer Perceptron Data-efficient Image Transformer

Dejiang Li, Tonghua Liu, Ao Liu +4

With the advancement of third-generation gravitational wave detectors, the identification of strongly lensed gravitational wave (GW) events is expected to play an increasingly vita…
