Detecting stellar lensing of gravitational waves with ground-based observatories

We investigate the ability of ground-based gravitational-wave observatories to detect gravitational-wave lensing events caused by stellar mass lenses. We show that LIGO and Virgo possess the sensitivities required to detect lenses with masses as small as ∼30  M[subscript ⊙] provided that the gravita...
