Cosmological parameters governing the evolution of the universe:
∵ First Friedmann Equation
Taylor expanding a(t):
∵ Independent of cosmological
models
∵ The Deceleration parameter
Parameters to be found observationally:
∵ Fluid Equation
The luminosity distance DL is defined as,
L: Standardized luminosity
f: Flux of the standard candle measured on earth
z: Redshift of the standard candle, found from (1+z) = 1/a(t) relation
