Estimate the age of the universe (in Gyrs) at the time when radiation was emitted from an object with redshift z.  For 1 < z < 3200, you can assume the Universe is matter dominated, in which case a ∝ t^2/3 and equation 5.102 should hold. Values: Assume H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc Ωm,0 = 0.3 z=3.6 Equation 5.102 is : a(t) = (3/2 (sqrtΩm,0 ) H0 t)^2/3

Estimate the age of the universe (in Gyrs) at the time when radiation was emitted from an object with redshift z.  For 1 < z < 3200, you can assume the Universe is matter dominated, in which case a ∝ t^2/3 and equation 5.102 should hold.

Values:

Assume H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc

Ωm,0 = 0.3

z=3.6

Equation 5.102 is :

a(t) = (3/2 (sqrtΩm,0 ) Ht)^2/3
