Angular diameter distance in a LCDM universe

Description

Angular diameter distance in a LCDM (Cold Dark Matter universe with a cosmological constant) universe between an observer at 'zd' and a source at 'zs'. The distance is in units of the Hubble distance c/H0, where 'c' is the speed of light and 'H0' is the Hubble constant.

Usage

distance.LCDM(zo=0.0,z,Omega.M0=0.3,Omega.L0=0.7)

Arguments

Value

The estimate of the distance.
