Abstract:

In this talk, I will give a brief introduction on the lensing of gravitational waves, with special attention to the wave optics regime. After the introduction, I will present a method that makes use of the phase of the signal to identify and properly categorize lensed merging binaries events. Finally, I will address a well-known problem in gravitational lensing, the Mass-Sheet Degeneracy and I will show how this could affect parameter estimation for lensed events.
