On the cosmological distance and redshift between any two objects
Abstract
We discuss the problem of how to calculate the distance between two cosmological objects given their redshifts and angular separation on the sky. Although of a fundamental nature, this problem and its solution seem to lack a detailed description in the literature. We present a new variant of its solution and quantitatively assess the most commonly used approximation.
