One Year and One Night to 1% in : Efficient Spectroscopic Strategy for Dark Siren Cosmology

Yixuan Dang, Ariel J. Amsellem, Ignacio Magaña Hernandez +2

Gravitational-wave events from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) can be used as standard sirens: they encode the luminosity distance to their sources, which yields a measurement o…
