How significant is the lensing interpretation of GW231123?

Xikai Shan, Huan Yang, Shude Mao

GW231123 is one of the most unusual gravitational-wave (GW) events, with exceptionally large inferred masses and near-extremal spins, offering an opportunity to test whether propag…

From Stars to Waves: Stochastic Inference of Microlensed Gravitational Waves

Zhaoqi Su, Xikai Shan, Zhenwei Lyu +4

When strongly lensed gravitational waves pass through the stellar field of a lensing galaxy, they acquire additional phase and amplitude modulations from gravitational microlensing…

Gravitational lensing by a spiral galaxy I: the influence from bar's structure to the flux ratio anomaly

Xikai Shan, Yunpeng Jin, Shude Mao

Gravitational lens flux ratio anomalies are a powerful probe of small-scale mass structures, often attributed to dark matter subhalos. However, baryonic components can also play a…

Binary-lens Microlensing Degeneracy: Impact on Planetary Sensitivity and Mass-ratio Function

Yuxin Shang, Hongjing Yang, Jiyuan Zhang +5

Gravitational microlensing is a unique method for discovering cold planets across a broad mass range. Reliable statistics of the microlensing planets require accurate sensitivity e…

Spin Precession Signatures as an Indicator of Microlensing in Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves

Xikai Shan, Huan Yang, Shude Mao +1

Microlensing by the stellar field in a strong-lensing galaxy can introduce wave-optics distortions into the waveforms of strongly lensed gravitational waves (SLGWs). If these signa…
