Beyond the Detector Horizon: Forecasting Gravitational-Wave Strong Lensing [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 When gravitational waves pass near massive astrophysical objects, they can be gravitationally lensed. The lensing can split them into multiple wave fronts, magnify them, or imprint beating patterns on the waves.

Probing Dark Low-mass Halos and Primordial Black Holes with Frequency-dependent Gravitational Lensing Dispersions of Gravitational Waves [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 We explore the possibility of using amplitude and phase fluctuations of gravitational waves due to gravitational lensing as a probe of the small-scale matter power spectrum. The direct measurement of the small-scale matter power spectrum is made possible

Detecting and Characterizing Young Quasars. III. The Impact of Gravitational Lensing Magnification
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We test the impact of gravitational lensing on the lifetime estimates of seven high-redshift quasars at redshift z ≳ 6. The targeted quasars are identified by their small observed proximity zone sizes, which indicate extremely short quasar lifetimes ( t ...

Gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole
The European Physical Journal C, 2021 We investigate the weak and strong deflection gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole and find their observables. These lensing observables are evaluated and the detectability of the quantum deformation is assessed, after ...

Strong gravitational lensing of a 4-dimensional Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet black hole in homogeneous plasma [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2020 We investigate the strong gravitational lensing of spherically symmetric black holes in the novel Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) gravity surrounded by unmagnetized plasma medium.

Gravitational lensing in the Simpson-Visser black-bounce spacetime in a strong deflection limit [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2020 A Simpson-Visser spacetime has two non-negative parameters $a$ and $m$ and its metric is correspond with (i) a Schwarzschild metric for $a=0$ and $m\ensuremath{\ne}0$, (ii) a regular black hole metric for $al2m$, (iii) a one-way traversable wormhole ...

Gravitational Lensing of Supernova Neutrino Bursts
Universe, 2021 Supernova neutrino bursts have been observed from extragalactic distances. This note addresses the question of how gravitational lensing could distort the information in the burst.

What does strong gravitational lensing? The mass and redshift distribution of high-magnification lenses [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 Many distant objects can only be detected, or become more scientifically valuable, if they have been highly magnified by strong gravitational lensing.

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2001 AbstractIn the roughly 20 years of its existence as an observational science, gravitational lensing has established itself as a valuable tool in many astrophysical fields. In the introduction of this review we briefly present the basics of lensing. Then it is shown that the two propagation effects, lensing and scintillation, have a number of properties
