Abstract (from CDS):

We apply the cross-correlation technique to infer the Hubble constant (H0) of the Universe using gravitational-wave (GW) sources without electromagnetic counterparts (dark sirens) from the third GW Transient Catalog (GWTC-3) and the photometric galaxy surveys 2MPZ and WISE-SuperCOSMOS, and combine these with the bright siren measurement of H0 from GW170817. The posterior on H0 with only dark sirens is uninformative due to the small number of well-localized GW sources. Using the eight well-localized dark sirens and the binary neutron star GW170817 with electromagnetic counterpart, we obtain a value of the Hubble constant ${H}_{0}\,={75.4}_{-6}^{+11}$ km s–1 Mpc–1 (median and 68.3% equal-tailed interval) after marginalizing over the matter density and the GW bias parameters. This measurement is mostly driven by the bright siren measurement, and any constraint from dark sirens is not statistically significant. In the future, with more well-localized GW events, the constraints on expansion history will improve.
