Quasi-geometrical Optics Approximation in Gravitational Lensing
Abstract. The gravitational lensing of gravitational waves should be treated in the wave optics instead of the geometrical optics when the wave length λ of the gravitational waves is larger than the Schwarzschild radius of the lens mass M. The wave optics is based on the diffraction integral which represents the amplification of the wave amplitude by lensing. We study the asymptotic expansion o...
متن کاملGravitational lensing
This is a short and biased review of gravitational lensing with emphasis on the radio and especially VLBI aspects. We briefly explain the basic idea and give a short sketch of the discovery of the first lens before we more systematically discuss the general fields that can be studied with lensing. We intentionally omit the details the average lensing expert would like to see and instead try to ...
متن کاملCovariance of Weak Lensing Observables
Analytical expressions for covariances of weak lensing statistics related to the aperture mass Map are derived for realistic survey geometries such as SNAP for a range of smoothing angles and redshift bins. We incorporate the contributions to the noise due to the intrinsic ellipticity distribution and the effects of finite size of the catalogue. Extending previous results to the most general ca...
متن کاملGravitational lensing by gravitational waves
Gravitational lensing by gravitational wave is considered. We notice that although final and initial direction of photons coincide, displacement between final and initial trajectories occurs. This displacement is calculated analytically for the plane gravitational wave pulse. Estimations for observations are discussed.
متن کاملGravitational observables and local symmetries.
Using a recent classification of local symmetries of the vacuum Einstein equations, it is shown that there can be no observables for the vacuum gravitational field (in a closed universe) built as spatial integrals of local functions of Cauchy data and their derivatives.
