The dynamics of coalescing compact binaries can be affected by the environment in which the systems evolve, leaving detectable signatures into the emitted gravitational signal. In this paper we investigate the ability of gravitational-wave detectors to constrain the nature of the environment in which compact binaries merge. We parametrize a variety of environmental effects by modifying the phase of the gravitational signal emitted by black hole and neutron star binaries. We infer the bounds on such effects by current and future generation of interferometers, studying their dependence on the binary's parameters. We show that the strong dephasing induced by accretion and dynamical friction can constraint the density of the surrounding medium to orders of magnitude below that of accretion disks. Planned detectors, such as LISA or DECIGO, will be able to probe densities typical of those of dark matter.

The swallowed spike: the formation of light primordial black hole structures around heavy seeds
No torque mechanism studied supplies enough angular momentum for the innermost light-PBH shells around a heavy seed, so the spike core is swallowed and far less dense than a WIMP spike.

Dissecting environmental effects with eccentric gravitational wave sources
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.

Geometric properties of slowly rotating black holes embedded in matter environments
The rotation of a surrounding dark-matter halo shifts the light ring, ISCO, epicyclic frequencies, and resonance locations of a slowly spinning black hole in a way that depends on the halo's angular velocity.

Tidal Love numbers and quasi-normal modes of the Schwarzschild-Hernquist black hole
For a Schwarzschild black hole in a relativistic Hernquist dark matter halo, quasinormal-mode frequency shifts scale as (MDM/rs)^(3/2) rather than linearly, while tidal Love numbers are small and sensitive to the choi...

Probing dark matter halo profiles with multi-band observations of gravitational waves
A Fisher-matrix forecast shows that the proposed deci-Hz space detector GWSat would constrain dark matter spike density and slope around intermediate-mass ratio inspirals to sub-percent accuracy, while third-generatio...

Eccentricity-Modulated Phase Degeneracy and Distinguishability between Dark Matter and Accretion Disk Environmental Effects in EMRIs
DM dephasing in EMRIs is nearly eccentricity-independent while disk dephasing is strongly suppressed by e0, so residual SNR and distinguishability time favor slightly eccentric orbits for LISA separation of the two effects.
