Einv(z)

source code 

Integrand used in many cosmography integrals. 1 / E(z) in Hogg's notation.

DM(z)

source code 

Comoving distance (transverse) at z. Hard-coded for OmegaR = 0.

compute_redshift(DL0)

source code 

Compute the redshift from a luminosity distance. Use the Newton-Raphson refinement method on a first-order guess.

dVdz(z)

source code 

Different volume element per unit redshift. Hard-coded for OmegaR = 0.

V(z)

source code 

Analytical integration of dVdz. Hard-coded for OmegaR = 0. Double precision craps out below about 100 kpc (z=2.3e-6).

V_from_DL_z(D, z=None)

source code 

Analytical integration of dVdz. Hard-coded for OmegaR = 0. Sped up for the case that you have D rather than (or in addition to) z. Double precision craps out below about 100 kpc (z=2.3e-6).
