A Complete Redshift-Magnitude Formula
Abstract
A closed formula for the relation between luminosity and redshift in an expanding Friedman universe with vanishing pressure is found which is valid for all values of the cosmological constant and the three possible space curvatures. The formula is tested with the well-known special cases.
