Hi there,
I am wondering about the definition of ckpc/h. I am aware that h is a constant, is ckpc speed of light times kpc?

Hi David,
The "c" means "comoving", as opposed to physical. To convert a length from ckpc/h to "physical kpc" you should divide by h and multiply by a (the scalefactor, = 1.0 at z=0).

Hi,
I wonder that if I use TNG50-4, are the values of little h different for different redshifts?
Or I should use the little h value (0.6774) given at the top of the web page for all redshifts?

The value of
h
is independent of redshift.Thanks!
