Unit conversions and collected numbers in cosmology
Abstract
This note collects together useful unit conversions and numerical values from early universe cosmology. It is a quick reference that can be used to make easy order-of-magnitude estimates. Included are tables for unit conversions, the thermal history of the universe, and collected properties of astronomical objects. The note also introduces a modifiable Mathematica package NaturalUnits (newest version 2.0), which makes it easy to convert between natural and physical units.
