Can gravitational waves diffract off massive objects?
It seems to be still a research question for specific situations , but the answer is yes, gravitational waves diffract. example this paper:
Emission of gravitational waves from binary systems in the galactic center and diffraction by star clusters
From the abstract:
The diffraction pattern of gravitational waves emitted by a binary system by a cluster of stars has been also analyzed. We remark that this is only a preliminary-theoretical work than can acquire more interest in view of the next-coming gravitational wave astronomy era.
in the paper:
it suffers diffractive effects while interacting with stars. Hence, by considering each star as a circular slit and applying the well known theory of wave diffraction, we can evaluate the expected diffraction patterns on the observer plane.
