Abstract (from CDS):

We present a measurement of the Hubble Constant H₀ using the gravitational wave event GW190412, an asymmetric binary black hole merger detected by LIGO/Virgo, as a dark standard siren. This event does not have an electromagnetic counterpart, so we use the statistical standard siren method and marginalize over potential host galaxies from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. GW190412 is well-localized to 12 deg² (90% credible interval), so it is promising for a dark siren analysis. The dark siren value for ${H}_{0}={85.4}_{-33.9}^{+29.1}$ km s^–1 Mpc^–1, with a posterior shape that is consistent with redshift overdensities. When combined with the bright standard siren measurement from GW170817 we recover ${H}_{0}={77.96}_{-5.03}^{+23.0}$ km s^–1 Mpc^–1, consistent with both early and late-time Universe measurements of H₀. This work represents the first standard siren analysis performed with DESI data, and includes the most complete spectroscopic sample used in a dark siren analysis to date.
