Abstract
We discuss the power of third-generation gravitational wave detectors to constrain cosmographic parameters in the case of electromagnetically bright standard sirens focusing on the specific case of the Einstein Telescope. We analyze the impact that the redshift source distribution, the number of detections and the observational error in the luminosity distance have on the inference of the first cosmographic parameters, and show that with a few hundreds detections the Hubble constant can be recovered at sub-percent level whereas the deceleration parameter at a few percent level, both with negligible bias.
