We combine the gravitational-wave measurement of the effective distance to the binary neutron star merger GW170817, the redshift of its host galaxy NGC 4993, and the latest Hubble constant measurement from the Dark Energy Survey to constrain the inclination between the orbital angular momentum of the binary and the line of sight to $18 \pm 8$ degrees (less than 28 degrees at 90% confidence). We briefly discuss the implications.
A new test of the weak equivalence principle on the galaxy level based on observations of binary neutron star merger GW170817
Search for post-merger gravitational waves from the remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
Late time afterglow observations reveal a collimated relativistic jet in the ejecta of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
