cosmology - what is the radial extent of the last scattering "shell"?


At CMB recombination (z=1090), what is the radial extent of the last scattering "shell"? a) Delta(z) = .... b) Delta(comoving angular distance)= ....Mpc



The WMAP first-year parameters give Delta(z) = 195. Is this still correct?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
