i have been learning about using redshift to measure the distance of far-flung objects, but in all my research i never saw a specific unit used to quantify how redshifted an object is. to me it seems like an oversight, because such a unit would be very useful for the study of distant galaxies, and which the impending launch of the james webb telescope and the E-ELT project underway (i think), it seems to me such a unit would be needed for these tools to be properly used. so has anybody bothered to quantify redshift, or am i the first person to think of this?
