Constraining The Hubble Parameter Using Distance Modulus – Redshift Relation [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.02734


Using the relation between distance modulus (m-M) and redshift (z), deduced from Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric and assuming different values of deceleration parameter (q0). We constrained the Hubble parameter (h). The estimates of the Hubble parameters we obtained using the median values of the data obtained from NASA Extragalactic Database (NED), are: h=0.7+/-0.3 for q0=0, h=0.6+/-0.3, for q0=1 and h=0.8+/-0.3, for q0=-1. The corresponding age ({\tau}) and size (R) of the observable universe were also estimated as: {\tau}=15+/-1 Gyrs, R=(5+/-2)x10^3 Mpc, {\tau}=18+/-1 Gyrs, R=(6+/-2)x10^3 Mpc and {\tau}=13+/-1 Gyrs, R=(4+/-2)x10^3 Mpc for q0=0, q0=1 and q0=-1 respectively.
