The lensing of gravitational waves (GWs) due to intervening matter distribution in the Universe can lead to chromatic and achromatic signatures in the wave-optics and geometrical-optics limit, respectively.

Gravitational microlensing in the wave-optics (WO) regime occurs when the Schwarzschild radius of a lensing object is comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of incoming gravitational waves (GWs), producing chromatic amplitude and phase modulations.

Traditional microlensing event vetting methods require highly trained human experts, and the process is both complex and time consuming. This reliance on manual inspection often leads to inefficiencies and constrains the ability to scale for widespread ...

Gravitational Microlensing by a Galactic Bar
Observations have found that the microlensing optical depth in the direction of the galactic center is larger than theoretical predictions. Here we investigate the effect a galactic bar has on microlensing. We use two models for the bar in order to find the range of microlensing predications.

On Finding Black Holes in Photometric Microlensing Surveys
There are expected to be millions of isolated black holes in the galaxy resulting from the deaths of massive stars. Measuring the abundance and properties of this remnant population would shed light on the end stages of stellar evolution and the ...

Introduction to Gravitational Microlensing
The basic concepts of gravitational microlensing are introduced. We start with the lens equation, and then derive the image positions and magnifications. The statistical quantities of optical depth and event rate are then described. We finish with a summary and a list of challenges and open questions. A problem set is given for students to practice.

Some previous studies have suggested that massive and intermediate-mass primordial black holes (PBHs) could comprise a substantial fraction of dark matter in the Universe.
