A new Bayesian analysis of VLBI observations of GW170817's jet afterglow constrains the viewing angle to 16.8-19.2 degrees and measures H0 = 65.5 ± 4.4 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}, closer to Planck than SH0ES values.

Simulations of the BSD instrument for POLAR-2 show it can localize faint GRBs like GRB 170817A to about 1.5 degrees accuracy, meeting requirements for supporting GRB polarimetry.
Latest GW neutron star merger rates are consistent with short GRBs being produced by BNS mergers if jets are wide or rates low, with NSBH mergers subdominant.
Identifies eight Fermi-GBM sGRBs similar to 170817A via hardness-ratio K-means clustering and estimates ~5 GW+sGRB events by end of O4.
BILBY is validated on simulated compact binary signals and reproduces the eleven GWTC-1 results with configuration and output files provided for reproduction.
