Waltzing Binaries: Probing the Line-of-sight Acceleration of Merging Compact Objects with Gravitational Waves

The line-of-sight acceleration of a compact binary coalescence (CBC) event would modulate the shape of the gravitational waves (GWs) it produces with respect to the corresponding nonaccelerated CBC. Such modulations could be indicative of its astrophysical environment. We investigate the prospects o...
