A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

On 17 August 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors observed the gravitational-wave event GW170817-a strong signal from the merger of a binary neutron-star system. Less than two seconds after the merger, a γ-ray burst (GRB 170817A) was detected within a region of the sky consistent with the LIG...
