A source-frame transverse physical speed v produces an observed angular rate θ˙. cosmological time dilation converts source time to observer time, so this operational distance equals (1+z) times the angular diameter distance. In an FLRW geometry it is the transverse comoving distance R0​S(χ). It should be derived with the time convention stated, rather than interpreting the source speed and angular rate as measurements made by the same clock.
