Simulated strain with no-lensing of the coalescence of a BBH with 10 and 12 M_⊙ at z = 2 (solid black line). We note that in order to zoom in the highest frequencies, we plot the strain as a function of |t − t₀| where the time, t₀, corresponds to zero in the x-axis. The dashed lines show the distortion of the strain for the different microlensing scenarios (by stellar bodies) discussed in Figs. 15 and 17.
