Hubble constant and nuclear equation of state from kilonova spectro-photometric light curves

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluate the performance of the Integral Field Unit in the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10 . 4 m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC) by performing absolute spectro-photometry over the entire 3600 − 10000 Å spectral range and evaluate the observational prospects and performance of MAAT on the GTC to do the following: a) study the impact of the equation of state on the kilonova light curve, and determine to what extent bounds on neutron star radii or compactness deriving from KN peak magnitudes can be identified and b) measure the Hubble constant, with precision improved by up to 40%, when both gravitational wave data and photometric-light curves are used.

Observation of Cosmological Time Dilation using Type Ia Supernovae as Clocks

TL;DR: In this article, the first results from a systematic search for high redshift Type Ia supernovae were reported, and the light curves were all broadened (time dilated) as expected from the expanding universe hypothesis.
