Abstract
We prove formulae for the -Rasmussen invariant of satellite knots of patterns with wrapping number 2, using the multicurve technology for Khovanov and Bar-Natan homology developed by Kotelskiy, Watson, and the second author. A new concordance homomorphism, which is independent of the Rasmussen invariant, plays a central role in these formulae. We also explore whether similar formulae hold for the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o invariant .
