摘要:

引力波(GW)在强引力场中的散射是引力透镜效应中的核心问题。然而,基于渐近展开的传统方法在接近光学轴附近会出现发散现象,变得不可靠。在本工作中,我们提出了一个严格的计算方法,用于计算Schwarzschild黑洞(BH)对引力波散射的影响,基于黑洞微扰理论。通过将观测者置于有限距离处,并放弃径向波函数的渐近展开,我们得到了一个收敛良好的部分波描述,而无需引入任何正则化方案,从而自然地解决了部分波级数和Poisson斑的发散问题。我们通过重建物理的+和×极化来计算散射的引力波波形,揭示了Poisson斑的形成和显著的波前畸变。与传统渐近方法的系统比较显示,它们在大散射角区域只能重现定性特征,而在前向散射区域则失效。我们进一步比较了从散射形式导出的频域传输因子与通过Kirchhoff衍射积分获得的传输因子,发现由于后者忽略了远距离引力效应和极化演变,在高频区域存在显著差异。我们的结果建立了一个稳定且物理透明的强场区域引力波散射框架,并为超越标准近似方法的准确引力波透镜建模提供了坚实基础。

英文摘要:

Gravitational-wave (GW) scattering in strong gravitational fields is a central problem in GW lensing. Yet, conventional treatments based on asymptotic expansions suffer from divergences and become unreliable near the optical axis. In this work, we present a rigorous calculation of GW scattering by a Schwarzschild black hole (BH) within the BH perturbation theory. By placing the observer at a finite distance and abandoning the asymptotic expansion of radial wave functions, we obtain a well-convergent partial-wave description without invoking any regularization scheme, thereby naturally resolving the divergences of the partial-wave series and the Poisson spot. We numerically computed the scattered GW waveforms by reconstructing the physical $+$ and $\times$ polarizations from the master variables, revealing the formation of the Poisson spot and pronounced wavefront distortions. A systematic comparison with conventional asymptotic approaches shows that they reproduce only qualitative features at large scattering angles and fail in the forward-scattering region. We further compare the frequency-domain transmission factors derived from the scattering formalism with those obtained from the Kirchhoff diffraction integral, finding significant discrepancies at high frequencies due to the latter's neglect of long-range gravitational effects and polarization evolution. Our results establish a stable and physically transparent framework for GW scattering in strong-field regimes and provide a solid foundation for accurate modeling of GW lensing beyond standard approximations.
