    Making the point: GW cosmology in 2025

    Myself and Prof. Antonella Palmese recently drafted a 2025 review of gravitational wave cosmology.

    It is a gentle introduction and review to standard sirens cosmology is a contribution to the Encyclopedia of Astrophysics (edited by Springer). The review covers in details methods for gravitational-wave cosmology with the mass spectrum, galaxy catalogs and electromagnetic counterparts.

    Leonardo Iampieri presented a new paper where we develop a novel strategy to study cosmic expansion with Gravitational Wave (GW) sources without an identified host galaxy but with an associated electromagnetic (EM) counterpart. We show that the relative time delay between the GW luminosity peak and the arrival of the EM counterpart can be used to measure the cosmic expansion and also fit the distribution of gamma-ray bursts prompt time delays.
