    Convert Modulus
AI Thread Summary
Converting distance modulus to Hubble parameter H(z) values is possible, but requires redshift data for accurate plotting. Distance modulus can be numerically converted to distance, which is a necessary step. The discussion emphasizes the importance of having redshift information to create a Hubble curve. Participants note that redshifts represent fractions of the original frequency, which may complicate the conversion process. Overall, obtaining H(z) data from distance modulus requires careful consideration of redshift values.

TL;DR Summary
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?

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,
 
Abstract The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has significantly advanced our ability to study black holes, achieving unprecedented spatial resolution and revealing horizon-scale structures. Notably, these observations feature a distinctive dark shadow—primarily arising from faint jet emissions—surrounded by a bright photon ring. Anticipated upgrades of the EHT promise substantial improvements in dynamic range, enabling deeper exploration of low-background regions, particularly the inner shadow...
