 * @brief Provides standard numerical constants for LAL.
 *
 * This header defines a number of useful numerical constants
 * for use in LAL routines.  These constants come in three basic
 * flavours: arithmetic and mathematical constants, fundamental (or
 * defined) physical constants, and measured astrophysical and
 * cosmological parameters.
 *
 * Note that this header is not included automatically by the header
 * <tt>LALStdlib.h</tt>.  Include it explicitly if you need any of these
 * constants.

/**
 * @name Cosmological parameters
 * The following cosmological parameters are derived from measurements of
 * the Hubble expansion rate and of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
 * In what follows, the normalized Hubble constant \f$h_0\f$ is equal to the
 * actual Hubble constant \f$H_0\f$ divided by
 * \f$\langle H \rangle=100\,\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}\f$.
 * Thus the Hubble constant can be written as:
 * \f$H_0 = \langle H \rangle * h_0\f$.  Similarly, the critical energy density
 * \f$\rho_c\f$ required for spatial flatness is given by:
 * \f$\rho_c = \langle\rho\rangle h_0^2\f$.
 * Current estimates give \f$h_0\f$ a value of around 0.69 
 * which is what is assumed below.
 * All values are in the SI units shown.
