The 1σ and 2σ constraints (dashed contours) from the combined EPM (red) and gravitational wave standard siren volumetric (blue) priors yield a tight constraint on the inclination angle, in close agreement with 1σ constraints from VLBI measurements and Hubble Space Telescope precision astrometry (grey shading13).
