Comparing the Detectability of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation through Gravitational-Wave Autocorrelation and Cross-Correlation with Galaxies
The amplitude and waveform shape of gravitational wave radiation from compact binary mergers enable a direct measurement of the luminosity distance to these events, making them \textit{``standard sirens''}. Binary black hole (BBH) mergers form a significant fraction of these standard sirens. A substantial catalog of BB...
