Subsolar strange star mergers produce a lower post-merger-to-cutoff GW frequency ratio than neutron star mergers, cleanly separating the two classes across equations of state and mass ratios.

abstract
Gravitational waves from inspiraling sub-solar mass compact objects would provide almost definitive evidence for the existence of primordial black holes. In this chapter, we explain why these exotic objects are interesting candidates for current and future gravitational-wave observatories, and provide detailed explanations of how they are searched for. We describe one method, matched filtering, to search for binaries with masses between $[0.01,1]M_\odot$. Furthermore, since signals from inspiraling planetary- and asteroid-mass mass compact binaries ($[10^{-9},10^{-2}]M_\odot$) would spend hours to years in the detector frequency band, we explain the novel pattern recognition techniques that have been developed to search for them. Finally, we describe extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) systems, and how these will be searched for in future space-based detectors. For all mass regimes, we comment on the prospects for detection.

Using LIGO O3 continuous-wave search data, the authors place the first constraints on ellipticities of self-interacting fermionic dark matter admixed neutron stars and exclude regions of the DM parameter space for masses in [0.1,10] GeV.
