CosmicCalculator - estimate cosmological values

astcosmiccal [OPTION...]

CosmicCalculator is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.17. CosmicCalculator will do cosmological calculations. If no redshfit is specified, it will only print the main input parameters. If only a redshift is given, it will print a table of all calculations. If any of the single row calculations are requested, only their values will be printed with a single space between each.

For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of CosmicCalculator's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.

All options and their values:
$ astcosmiccal -P
Inputs/Outputs and options:
$ info astcosmiccal
Full section in manual/book:
$ info CosmicCalculator
Full Gnuastro manual/book:
$ info gnuastro

If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct help from experienced Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run:

$ info help-gnuastro
