...From the analysis of GW170817, we set d = 40 Mpc and θobs < π 11/36 (Abbott et al. 2017c)....

...In all of them a fast, low opacity ejection is responsible for the BC, while a slower, more opaque ejection accounts for the RC (Abbott et al. 2017a)....

...The discovery of the gravitational wave (GW) signal GW170817 by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has marked the beginning of the multimessenger astronomy era (Abbott et al. 2017c; Abbott et al. 2017)....

...…neutron stars (BNS), but also the first GW discovery followed by a cascade of electromagnetic (EM) signals recorded by telescopes in space and all over the world, across the entire EM spectrum (Abbott et al. 2017), from gamma-rays (Abbott et al. 2017b) to radio emission (Alexander et al. 2017)....

...Because this analysis has been performed on the public 3-dimensional sky map, rather than proprietary LIGO/Virgo data, the results do not agree precisely with those of Abbott et al. (2017a), and in particular, the position of the peak in Figure 4 is at H0 = 76 km/s/Mpc instead of H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc....

...NGC 4993 was identified as the unique host galaxy following the discovery of an optical transient located only ∼ 10 arcsec from NGC 4993 (Coulter et al. 2017; Soares-Santos et al. 2017; Abbott et al. 2017d)....

...The first multi-messenger detection of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, GW170817, enabled the first standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant, H0, ushering in the era of gravitational-wave (GW) cosmology (Abbott et al. 2017a,c,d)....

...And because NGC 4993, the true galaxy host of GW170817, is a member of the group at z ∼ 0.01, we should not be surprised to learn that the peak in H0 is consistent with the H0 estimate from the GW170817 standard siren measurement including the counterpart (Abbott et al. 2017a)....

...On the other hand, the analysis in Abbott et al. (2017a) utilizes the full distance posteriors along each line-of-sight....

...e of a black hole geometry was not available. With the two successive path breaking discoveries, namely the gravitational wave measurements from the collision of binary black holes and neutron starts [1,2] and imaging the shadow of the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy [3{9], one can now really hope to understand how gravity behaves in a strong eld regime, shedding light on the fu...

...After the first detections of gravitational wave (GW) events from binary black hole (BBH) coalescence (Abbott et al. 2016a, 2016b, 2017), the detection of GWs from a compact binary coalescence including at least one neutron star (NS) has been eagerly awaited....
