Homework Statement



I am given a model where for an accelerating universe the redshift changes according to the following equations (given in part b). For this model and assuming that H0=70km/s/Mpc, evaluate the change in redshift over 10 years, for a source at z=1 and the change in recession velocity

Homework Equations


rate of change is \frac{dz}{dt}=H0(1+z)-H(z) where H(z) is the Hubble parameter
In this case I am considering a κ=0 universe with no cosmological constant, so H(z)=H0(1+z)3/2

The Attempt at a Solution


I know that the long way would be to take the integral of the \frac{dz}{dt} formula from z=1 to z' over the entire time period. What I am wondering is, because of how minute the change would probably be is it acceptable to approximate this as:
Δz≈t1H0(1+z-((1+z)3/2)) where t1=10 years?

I am asking because when I calculate this I get a negative number for the change in z. Wouldn't this be a blueshift?
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
