Binary-lens amplification of starlight: from magnification flares to quasi-periodic tracking of orbital evolution

Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHB) are expected at the center of galaxies as a result of galaxy mergers. The dynamics and evolution of SMBHBs shed light on the evolution and formation of galaxies, the gravitational wave background and the nature of gravity. Many methods have been proposed to identify sub-parsec S...
