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.
GW-Eyes is a new LLM-powered agent framework that autonomously associates gravitational-wave events with electromagnetic counterparts by integrating specialized tools and supporting natural-language interaction.
Lumen modeling of IllustrisTNG50 shows that high ionization parameters from massive star clusters plus enhanced nitrogen abundances are needed to reproduce the extreme [OIII]/Hβ, [OIII]/[OII], and [NII]/Hα ratios seen in z>3 galaxies.
No kilonova detected from sub-solar GW candidate S251112cm, but coincident IIb supernova SN 2025adtq yields suggestive evidence for the superkilonova channel, though inconclusive after accounting for chance coincidence.
No evidence for core-collapse formed low-spin IMBHs in GWTC-4, with 90% upper limit on merger rate of 0.077 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}, low-spin BH mass truncation at 65 solar masses consistent with pair-instability gap lower edge, and high-spin IMBHs from hierarchical mergers.
Cosmic Explorer is described as a next-generation gravitational-wave observatory aiming for tenfold sensitivity improvement over Advanced LIGO to observe signals from the edge of the observable universe at z~100.
MUST is a new 6.5 m telescope designed to deliver simultaneous optical spectra for over 20,000 targets across a 5 deg² field, enabling the largest 3D spectroscopic map of the Universe with redshifts for more than 100 million objects over an 8-year survey.
Methodological choices in dark siren cross-correlations can mitigate biases in H0 inference when selection effects are built into the model and samples of precise events are sufficiently large.
