A standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant using GW170817 and the latest observations of the electromagnetic counterpart afterglow
read the original abstract
We present a new constraint on the Hubble constant $H_0$ using the latest measurements of the electromagnetic counterpart to the gravitational wave (GW) event GW170817. We use the latest optical, X-ray and radio observations of the afterglow up to $\sim 3.5$ years after the GW detection, and properly take into account the impact of the host galaxy peculiar velocity. We find $75.46^{+5.34}_{-5.39}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ (68\% Credible Interval), a $\sim7\%$ precision measurement, which is a significant improvement compared to the $14\%$ precision of the first standard siren measurement. Our result is consistent within $1\sigma$ with the Cepheid-anchored Supernova and within $1.5 \sigma$ with the Cosmic Microwave Background measurements of the Hubble constant. We also explore the impact of the various assumptions made when fitting for the afterglow on the Hubble constant estimate.

Binary Neutron Stars from the Moon: Early Warnings and Precision Science for the Artemis Era
Lunar GW observatories can deliver weeks-to-months early warnings, 0.01 deg² localizations, and ~100 well-localized BNS events per year for GW170817-like sources, with multi-band networks yielding 0.1% mass-ratio and ...
