Probing Dark Matter Substructure with Wave-Optics Distortions of Strongly Lensed LISA Gravitational Waves
Strong lensing changes the phase of a gravitational-wave signal as well as its amplitude and arrival time. We study whether this phase information can distinguish between three dark-matter structures in the lens: a Navarro--Frenk--White halo (NFW), a self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halo, and a fuzzy-dark-matter fie...
