cosmocalc.rs

A library for computing quantities in cosmology in the Rust programming language

Features

Cosmological distance calculations

let cosmology = FLRWCosmology::two_component(0.286, 0.714, 69.6);

z = Redshift::new(2.0);

let d_c = cosmology.radial_comoving_distance(z);
let d_m = cosmology.transverse_comoving_distance(z);
let d_a = cosmology.angular_diameter_distance(z);
let d_l = cosmology.luminosity_distance(z);
let v = cosmology.comoving_volume(z);

Set contributions from matter, dark energy and relativistic particles for flat or non-flat cosmology
