Probability distribution on the orbital inclination angle ι of GW170817, obtained by combining the distance and inclination inferred from the gravitational-wave signal, the host galaxy redshift, and an independent measurement of the Hubble constant. The blue curve is based on the DES measurement of H0, while the red curve is based on a combination of five statistically independent H0 measurements (DES Collaboration et al. 2017).
