Self-lensing of gravitational waves from binary extreme-mass-ratio inspirals: Extended caustics and paired flashes

We investigate strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves from a compact source orbiting a Kerr black hole, motivated by self-lensing in binary extreme-mass-ratio inspirals. In the geometric-optics limit, we construct a point-to-point lens map from null-geodesic integrals and use the Jacobi map to compute the...
