Angular diameter distance

Description

Function computes angular diameter distance

Usage

D.A(z, omega.m = 0.27, omega.lambda = 0.73, H.0 = 71)

Arguments

z	Redshift
omega.m	Omega matter parameter
omega.lambda	Omega lambda parameter
H.0	Hubble constant in km/s/Mpc

Value

Angular distance in Mpc

Note

For flat universe, omega.k = 0.
