Angular diameter distance in an open dust universe

ID: angular-diameter-distance-in-an-open-dust-universe

Normalize the present scale factor to one and assume dust plus curvature with no cosmological constant. Then and . For positive , the transverse comoving distance is . At fixed radial distance it exceeds the flat transverse distance. At fixed redshift the radial distance must also be calculated from the expansion history. The empty limit is , while the flat dust limit is .
