LIGO and Virgo have initiated the era of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy; but in order to fully explore GW frequency spectrum, we must turn our attention to innovative techniques for GW detection. One such approach is to use binary systems as dynamical GW detectors by studying the subtle perturbations to their orbits caused by impinging GWs. We present a powerful new formalism for calculating the orbital evolution of a generic binary coupled to a stochastic background of GWs, deriving from first principles a secularly-averaged Fokker-Planck equation which fully characterises the statistical evolution of all six of the binary's orbital elements. We also develop practical tools for numerically integrating this equation, and derive the necessary statistical formalism to search for GWs in observational data from binary pulsars and laser-ranging experiments.

  1. Dissecting environmental effects with eccentric gravitational wave sources

    astro-ph.HE 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Resonances between oscillating environmental forces and the epicyclic motion of eccentric binaries can dominate gravitational wave dephasing over orbit-averaged drag for eccentricities above about 0.05.

  2. Prospects for gravitational wave and ultra-light dark matter detection with binary resonances beyond the secular approximation

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A non-secular perturbative treatment of binary orbits shows that resonant gravitational waves and ultra-light dark matter drive quadratic growth of the true anomaly perturbation, substantially boosting projected detec...

  3. Discovering $\mu$Hz gravitational waves and ultra-light dark matter with binary resonances

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A time-resolved treatment of binary orbital perturbations yields projected microhertz gravitational-wave and ultra-light dark-matter sensitivities orders of magnitude better than secular-averaged calculations.

  4. Probing vector gravitational atoms with eccentric intermediate mass-ratio inspirals

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Eccentric intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals around vector gravitational atoms acquire faster decay, stronger circularization, and negative periastron precession, making the cloud visible to LISA-like detectors.
