Joint gravitational-wave (GW) and $\gamma$-ray burst (GRB) observations are among the best prospects for standard siren cosmology. However, the strong selection effect for the coincident GRB detection, which is possible only for sources…
The emission of continuous gravitational waves (CWs), with duration much longer than the typical data taking runs, is expected from several sources, notably spinning neutron stars, asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis and more…

Detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from neutron star-black hole (NSBH) standard sirens can provide local measurements of the Hubble constant ($H_0$), regardless of the detection of an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart: The presence of…
