<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:black">Gravitational wave signals from compact binary mergers are of huge interest to the cosmology community due to their ability to act as standard sirens, providing
measurements of luminosity distance which are independent of the cosmic distance ladder. This opens up new ways of measuring cosmological parameters, with particular focus on the Hubble constant, with the hopes of arbitrating the current Hubble tension. However,
in order for this measurement to be made, additional redshift information is required. In the scenario where the merger is observed without a confirmed electromagnetic counterpart - true for all but one of the detections from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration
to date - galaxy surveys, and the population of gravitational waves themselves, can be used to provide this missing information. I will introduce these latest methods and look at what the gravitational wave detections from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration
can tell us so far, and how they might pave the way for solving the Hubble tension.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Hierarchical models of galaxy formation predict that galaxies grow through successive mergers, leaving behind tidal features—faint stellar structures that preserve a record of recent mass
assembly. The properties of these features depend on the nature of the mergers that produced them, making them key tracers of galaxy evolution. However, their intrinsically low surface brightness (LSB) poses a major observational challenge, requiring tailored
observing strategies and data processing techniques.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">In this talk, I will present a quantitative study of tidal features around hundreds of nearby galaxies, based on deep imaging from both ground-based (CFHT) and space-based (Euclid) telescopes.
Using a dedicated annotation tool, we systematically characterised these features in terms of their photometric and geometric properties. I will explore the connections between the host galaxies and their tidal features, and discuss the insights these structures
offer into the late-stage assembly of galaxies. Finally, I will touch on how tidal features can be used to constrain the shapes of dark matter haloes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
