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. Here we focus on the…

Gravitational-wave detectors are affected by short-duration non-Gaussian noise transients, commonly referred to as glitches, which can obscure astrophysical signals and complicate downstream analyses. While recent work has demonstrated the…
New analyses of gravitational wave events raise questions about the nature of some events. For example, LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA initially determined GW151226 to be a merger with a mass-ratio $q\approx0.5$ and effective inspiral spin…
Gravitational waves (GWs) can be distorted by intervening mass distributions while propagating, leading to frequency-dependent modulations that imprint a distinct signature on the observed waveforms. Bayesian inference for GW lensing with…
