Abstract: Gravitational wave timbre, the relative amplitude and phase of the different frequency harmonics, can change due to interactions with low-mass halos. We focus on binaries in the LISA range and find that the integrated lens effect of cold dark matter structures can be used to probe the existence of $M_{rm v}lesssim 10, M_{odot}$ halos if a single binary with eccentricity $e=0.3-0.6$ is detected with a signal-to-noise ratio $100 – 10^3$ and it is at $z_s=0.5$.arXiv:2402.16849v2 Announce Type: replace-cross
