Then, to load into your session:
julia> using Cosmology
Cosmological Models
First, pick a cosmological model using the cosmology function,
which takes the following options:
| h = 0.69 | Dimensionless Hubble constant |
| OmegaK = 0 | Curvature density, Ωk |
| OmegaM = 0.29 | Matter density, Ωm |
| OmegaR = Ωγ + Ων | Radiation density, Ωr |
| Tcmb = 2.7255 | CMB temperature (K), used to compute Ωγ |
| Neff = 3.04 | Effective number of massless neutrino species, used to compute Ων |
| w0 = -1 | CPL dark energy equation of state, w = w0 + wa*(1-a) |
| wa = 0 | CPL dark energy equation of state, w = w0 + wa*(1-a) |
