The angular diameter distance is a distance measure used in astronomy. It is defined in terms of an object's physical size, , and the angular size of the object as viewed from earth.
The angular diameter distance depends on the assumed cosmology of the universe. The angular diameter distance to an object at redshift, , is expressed in terms of the comoving distance, as:
Where is the FLRW coordinate defined as:
Where is the curvature density and is the value of the Hubble parameter today.
