Wave effect in gravitational lensing by a cosmic string

  • 1. Department of Physical Science, Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima 739-8526 (Japan)

Description

The wave effect in the gravitational lensing phenomenon by a straight cosmic string is investigated. The interference pattern is expressed in terms of a simple formula. We demonstrate that modulations of the interfered wave amplitude can be a unique signature of the wave effect. We briefly mention a possible chance of detecting the wave effect in future gravitational wave observatories
