Abstract: Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy offers unrivalled discovery opportunities in the coming decades, with the potential to shed light on physics ranging from the formation and evolution of black holes to fundamental aspects of the early Universe. However, a comprehensive examination of the GW frequency spectrum is hampered by presently limited prospects for GW detection at uHz frequencies. In this talk, I describe how the resonant energy transfer between GWs and binary systems may produce observable perturbations to orbital dynamics, paving the way toward future searches for uHz GW with lunar laser ranging and pulsar timing array datasets.
