Do you have a citation for the LIGO based derived Hubble constant? I didn't find it mentioned in the article (just CMB and Cepheid derived values).

- ncmncm 8y agoNo, it wasn't in the article, because it wasn't relevant, except as independent confirmation that both are in the ballpark. I just gurgled LIGO and Hubble relation, and up popped https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.05835.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.05835.pdf and 'Dr Stephen Feeney of the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute in New York City, “We should be able to detect enough mergers to answer this question within 5-10 years.”'
