Cosmology and modified gravity with dark sirens from GWTC-3 (2203.09238v1)
Published 17 Mar 2022 in gr-qc and astro-ph.CO
Abstract: We present the latest measurements of the Hubble parameter and of the parameter $\Xi_0$ describing modified gravitational wave propagation, obtained from the third gravitational wave transient catalog, GWTC-3, using the correlation with galaxy catalogs and information from the source-frame mass distribution of binary black holes. The latter leads to the tightest bound on $\Xi_0$ so far, i.e. $\Xi_0 = 1.2{+0.7}_{-0.7}$ with a flat prior on $\Xi_0$, and $\Xi_0 = 1.0{+0.4}_{-0.8}$ with a prior uniform in $\log\Xi_0$ (Max posterior and $68\%$ HDI). The measurement of $H_0$ is dominated by the single bright siren GW170817, resulting in $H_0=67{+9}_{-6} \, \rm km \, s{-1} \, Mpc$ when combined with the galaxy catalog.
