Open dust distance-redshift relation
ID: open-dust-distance-redshift-relation
For an open dust-only Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric with zero cosmological constant and , . The present radial cosmological proper distance is , and the areal radial coordinate satisfies . Integrating with gives the displayed relation. It has near the observer and as . The luminosity distance is , not the radial cosmological proper distance.
