Cosmology using advanced gravitational-wave detectors alone

Cosmology using advanced gravitational-wave detectors alone

We investigate a novel approach to measuring the Hubble constant using gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binaries by exploiting the narrowness of the distribution of masses of the underlying neutron-star population. Gravitational-wave observations with a network of detectors will permit a...
