Radiation relation between deceleration and density (q=Ω)

For radiation in cosmology with zero cosmological constant, p=ρ/3. The Friedmann acceleration equation gives a¨/a=−8πGρ/3, so the deceleration parameter equals the cosmological density parameter, regardless of spatial curvature. This is a relation for a pure radiation fluid, not a general identity for a mixture.
