A new Bayesian analysis of VLBI observations of GW170817's jet afterglow constrains the viewing angle to 16.8-19.2 degrees and measures H0 = 65.5 ± 4.4 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}, closer to Planck than SH0ES values.

Detection of GW190814 from the coalescence of a 23 solar-mass black hole and a 2.6 solar-mass compact object, the most unequal-mass binary yet observed with gravitational waves.
Forecasts that golden and silver dark sirens with HETDEX VIRUS follow-up can constrain H0 to a few percent using one year of LIGO-A# observations for z < 0.2 events.
No evidence for core-collapse formed low-spin IMBHs in GWTC-4, with 90% upper limit on merger rate of 0.077 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}, low-spin BH mass truncation at 65 solar masses consistent with pair-instability gap lower edge, and high-spin IMBHs from hierarchical mergers.
Restricting analysis to the top 1% most luminous galaxies in GW localization volumes yields 1-4 candidate hosts for three specific events, with 29-36% probability of random association.
Methodological choices in dark siren cross-correlations can mitigate biases in H0 inference when selection effects are built into the model and samples of precise events are sufficiently large.
Applies simulation-informed stellar kinematic criteria to archival IFU data to produce a ranked list of nearby massive galaxies as potential SMBHB hosts for PTA follow-up.

How do the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Heavy Black Holes Form? No evidence for core-collapse Intermediate-mass black holes in GWTC-4
