The time line between various redshifts is computed for the standard
cosmology using the recent results of Bennett
et al. (2003), which
were based on WMAP and other cosmological surveys. The calculations
were marginalized over
and
,
constrained by
and the age of
the universe equal to
Gyr. A slightly larger error
than quoted by Bennett et al. was used for the age, for robustness to
rounding errors. The average and 1
uncertainties of galaxy
ages for various redshifts and
are shown below.
