Measuring the Hubble Constant with Neutron Star Black Hole Mergers

The detection of GW170817 and the identification of its host galaxy have allowed for the first standard-siren measurement of the Hubble constant, with an uncertainty of ∼14%. As more detections of binary neutron stars with redshift measurement are made, the uncertainty will shrink. The dominating fa...
