AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on converting redshift (z) to parsecs, emphasizing that the conversion depends on the chosen concept of distance. A simple equation for this conversion is not provided, but users reference tools like the lightcone calculator for calculations. One participant shares detailed results based on specific cosmological parameters, including values for R0, R∞, and other metrics. The importance of understanding the underlying cosmological model is highlighted, as it affects the conversion outcome. Overall, the thread provides insights into the complexities of redshift calculations and available resources for accurate conversions.

How to convert red shift to parsecs? Is there a simple converting equation?

This depends on which concept of distance is used. See the first paragraph of the attached file.

I wrote up an answer for someone else, who specified z = 0.4. I didn't use dimensionless parameters. See the last two graphs in the attached file.

thats one of the better quality articles I've read. Far better than some of my attempts lol. Thank you for showing it.
 
My signature first link has a handy tool called the lightcone calculator here I set stretch to 2.0 for S_upper. S=1+z. I set a randon value for lower stretch.
then I selected the columns I wanted and decimal places. Clicked linear steps.
here is the result with WMAP
flat geometry parameters.

{\small\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline R_{0} (Gly) & R_{\infty} (Gly) & S_{eq} & H_{0} & \Omega_\Lambda & \Omega_m\\ \hline 14.4&17.3&3400&67.9&0.693&0.307\\ \hline \end{array}} {\small\begin{array}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|} \hline a=1/S&S&z&T (Gy)&D_{now} (Gly)&D_{then}(Gly) \\ \hline 0.500&2.000&1.000&5.8636&11.046&5.523\\ \hline 1.000&1.000&0.000&13.7872&0.000&0.000\\ \hline 1.668&0.599&-0.401&21.7987&6.249&10.425\\ \hline 2.783&0.359&-0.641&30.4437&10.300&28.660\\ \hline 4.642&0.215&-0.785&39.2497&12.776&59.303\\ \hline 7.743&0.129&-0.871&48.0918&14.267&110.467\\ \hline 12.915&0.077&-0.923&56.9418&15.162&195.824\\ \hline 21.544&0.046&-0.954&65.7934&15.698&338.212\\ \hline 35.938&0.028&-0.972&74.6452&16.020&575.729\\ \hline 59.948&0.017&-0.983&83.4973&16.213&971.932\\ \hline 100.000&0.010&-0.990&92.3494&16.328&1632.838\\ \hline \end{array}}

the top row has the result you want you just need to convert to parsecs.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
