Gravitational waves from subsolar mass inspiraling compact objects would provide almost smoking-gun evidence for primordial black holes (PBHs). We perform the first search for inspiraling planetary-mass compact objects in equal-mass and highly asymmetric mass-ratio binaries using data from the first half of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third observing run. Though we do not find any significant candidates, we determine the maximum luminosity distance reachable with our search to be of O(0.

- * The study investigates environmental effects on known gravitational wave events and finds no evidence to support significant impacts, ruling out certain star formation scenarios.
- * Future observatories like the Einstein Telescope and B-DECIGO are expected to explore the influence of environmental factors, such as accretion disks and boson clouds, on compact binary formations.
