Abstract
We present the first joint gravitational-wave cosmological inference with LISA extreme mass-ratio inspirals at (galaxy redshifts) and massive black hole binaries at (electromagnetic counterparts). Combining these standard sirens reduces cosmological degeneracies and yields competitive constraints on the Hubble constant and the dark-energy equation-of-state parameter . This highlights LISA's potential for late-time cosmology across a broad redshift range with systematics distinct from electromagnetic distance indicators.
