Abstract:When it comes to long-wavelength gravitational waves (GWs), diffraction effect becomes
significant when these waves are lensed by celestial bodies. Typically, the traditional
diffraction integral formula neglects large-angle diffraction, which is often adequate for most of
cases. Nonetheless, there are specific scenarios, such as when a GW source is lensed by a
supermassive black hole in a binary system, where the lens and source are in close proximity,
where large-angle diffraction can play a crucia… Show more
