de Sitter Cosmological Model

A static cosmological model made isotropic and homogeneous by removing all mass from the universe. Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy The resulting expanding universe Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy had density of zero and constant curvature. In this model, the radius as a function of time is given by


where H is the Hubble constant, equal to


where is the cosmological constant (Weinberg 1972, p. 615).
