If dark matter stems from the background of a very light gauge boson, this gauge boson could exert forces on test masses in gravitational wave detectors, resulting in displacements with a characteristic frequency set by the gauge boson mass. We outline a novel search strategy to hunt for such dark matter, and show that both ground-based and future space-based gravitational wave detectors have the capability to make a 5$\sigma$ discovery in unexplored parameter regimes.

  1. Constraints on Ultralight Scalar and Dark Photon Dark Matter from PPTA-DR3 and EPTA-DR2

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Bayesian analysis of PPTA-DR3 and EPTA-DR2 finds no statistically significant ULDM signals and sets 95% CL upper limits on scalar and dark photon dark matter, improving prior bounds in most mass ranges.

  2. Gravitational waves of extreme-mass-ratio inspirals in a rotating black hole with Dehnen dark matter halo

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    EMRI waveforms in a rotating black hole with Dehnen DM halo show amplitude and phase shifts from Kerr, with mismatch rising as DM mass parameter and black hole spin increase.
