Unbiased Hubble constant estimation from binary neutron star mergers
Unbiased Hubble constant estimation from binary neutron star mergers
Gravitational-wave (GW) observations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers can be used to measure luminosity distances and hence, when coupled with estimates for the mergers' host redshifts, infer the Hubble constant ${H}_{0}$. These observations are, however, affected by GW measurement noise, uncertainties in host redshifts and peculiar velocities, and are …
