No Need to Know: Toward Astrophysics-free Gravitational-wave Cosmology by Amanda M. Farah, Thomas A. Callister, Jose María Ezquiaga, Michael Zevin, Daniel E. Holz

“…However, the use of an inaccurate representation leads to biases in the cosmological inference, an acute problem given the current uncertainties in true source population. Furthermore, it is commonly presumed that the form of the mass distribution must be known a priori to obtain unbiased measurements of cosmological parameters in this fashion. …”
