The Age-Redshift Relation for Standard Cosmology

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

We present compact, analytic expressions for the age-redshift relation τ(z)\tau(z) for standard Friedmann-Lema\^ \itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology. The new expressions are given in terms of incomplete Legendre elliptic integrals and evaluate much faster than by direct numerical integration.
