At fixed positive redshift, intrinsic luminosity and present Hubble constant, a flat dust-vacuum model with 0<ΩΛ0​<1 has luminosity distance between those of an Einstein-de Sitter universe and pure positive vacuum. The Hubble parameter of the dust-only model is largest at every positive integration redshift; that of pure vacuum is smallest. Therefore c(1+z)∫0z​dz′/H(z′) is smallest for dust alone and largest for pure vacuum. Received radiative flux has the reverse ordering. This compares physical distances rather than arbitrarily normalized comoving coordinates.
