Description
Compact binaries observed in gravitational waves (GWs) are standard distance indicators or standard sirens. This has opened up a novel path to measuring cosmological parameters such as the Hubble constant. In this talk we give a brief overview of the current results in this context from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detector network, some of the near-future prospects, and finally move over to the unique opportunities offered by future GW observatories.
