Summary
DescriptionLook-back time by redshift.png |
English: The cosmological look-back time of astronomical observations in billions of years ago by their redshift value z, demarcated by the furthest present known object, galaxy JADES-GS-z13-0. Please see also S.V. Pilipenko (2013-21) "Paper-and-pencil cosmological calculator" arxiv:1303.5961, for the Fortran-90 code upon which the Python code below for this chart was based. |

# Thanks to ChatGPT-4 and the Fortran-90 code from arxiv:1303.5961,

# here's how to get cosmological look-back time from redshift in Python:
from scipy.special import hyp2f1 # hypergeometric function 2F1 is in integral solution
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker
# Cosmological parameters from the Fortran params.f90 header
#H0 = 67.15 # Hubble constant in km/s/Mpc (or, 73.5: the "crisis in cosmology")
H0 = 69.32 # from Explainxkcd for 2853: Redshift; seems a consensus compromise
#OL = 0.683 # Cosmological constant for dark energy density, Omega_Lambda or _vac
#Om = 0.317 # Density parameter for matter, Omega_mass
Om = 0.286 # From https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.1718.pdf page 8
OL = 1.0 - Om - 0.4165/(H0**2) # flat curvature, from https://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CC.python
# (on https://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CosmoCalc.html which see)
#print(f"{OL=:.3F}") # 0.714
# Age of universe at redshift z as a closed-form solution to its integral definition,
