SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on converting distance modulus values into Hubble vs redshift H(z) data. The user seeks to understand the relationship between distance modulus and H(z), emphasizing the need for redshift data to accurately plot a Hubble curve. It is established that while converting distance modulus to distance is straightforward, the absence of redshift data complicates the conversion process. The conversation highlights the importance of having both distance modulus and redshift to derive meaningful H(z) values.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of distance modulus in cosmology
  • Familiarity with Hubble's Law and redshift concepts
  • Basic knowledge of data plotting techniques
  • Experience with numerical data conversion methods
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods to convert distance modulus to distance using cosmological formulas
  • Learn about redshift calculations and their significance in cosmology
  • Explore data visualization tools for plotting Hubble curves
  • Investigate statistical methods for calculating standard deviation in H(z) data
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, cosmologists, and data analysts interested in converting distance modulus to H(z) values and understanding the implications of redshift in cosmological studies.

TL;DR
I have a set of distance modulus and I would like to know if this is possible to convert these values into a Hubble vs redshift H(z) data ( with the standard deviation)
Hello,

Everything is in th summary :

I have a set of distance modulus and I would like to know if this is possible to convert numerically these values into a Hubble vs redshift H(z) data ( with the standard deviation).

Any relation between distance modulus and H(z) are welcome.

Regards

It's easy to convert distance modulus to distance. See this Wikipedia page for example. But do you also have redshift for these objects? How can you plot a Hubble curve without redshift data?
 
@phyzguy

Of course, I forgot to mention that data are not in H(z) space but distance_modulus(z)

that's why I would like to handle them to get H(z) data

Thanks
 
Redshifts are not in a fixed number of Hz. They are fractions of the original frequency,
