A two per cent Hubble constant measurement from standard sirens within five years

Gravitational-wave detections provide a novel way to determine the Hubble constant 1 – 3 , which is the current rate of expansion of the Universe. This ‘standard siren’ method, with the absolute distance calibration provided by the general theory of relativity, was used to measure the Hubble constan...
