How to convert red shift to parsecs? Is there a simple converting equation?
The discussion revolves around the conversion of redshift (z) to parsecs, specifically addressing the case when z=1. Participants explore different methods and equations for this conversion, highlighting the dependence on various concepts of distance.
Participants do not reach a consensus on a single method for conversion, as the discussion reflects multiple approaches and acknowledges the complexity of the topic.
The discussion highlights the need for clarity regarding the definitions of distance in cosmology, as well as the potential variations in results based on different parameters used in calculations.

George Jones said: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.
