}It was recently suggested that the merger of $\ensuremath{\sim}30\text{ }\text{ }{M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$ primordial black holes (PBHs) may provide a significant number of events in gravitational-wave observatories over the next decade, if they make up an appreciable fraction of the dark matter. Here we show that measurement of the eccentricities of the inspiralling binary black holes can be used to distinguish these binaries from those produced by more traditional astrophysical mechanisms… Expand
