Precise LIGO lensing rate predictions for binary black holes
We show how LIGO is expected to detect coalescing binary black holes at z>1 that are lensed by the intervening galaxy population. Gravitational magnification, μ, strengthens gravitational-wave signals by √μ without altering their frequencies, which if unrecognized leads to an underestimate of the...
