\section{Header \texttt{LALConstants.h}}
\label{s:LALConstants.h}
Provides standard numerical constants for LAL.
\subsection*{Synopsis}
\begin{verbatim}
#include
\end{verbatim}
\noindent 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, unlike the other headers in the \verb@std@ package, this
header is \emph{not} included automatically by the header
\verb@LALStdlib.h@. Include it explicitly if you need any of these
constants.

standard~754 for binary arithmetic. All numbers are dimensionless.

The following cosmological parameters are derived from measurements of
the Hubble expansion rate and of the cosmic background radiation
(CBR). Data are taken from~\cite{Barnet:1996}. In what follows, the
normalized Hubble constant $h_0$ is equal to the actual Hubble
constant $H_0$ divided by $\langle H
\rangle=100\,\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. Thus the
Hubble constant can be written as:
$$
H_0 = \langle H \rangle h_0 \; .
$$
Similarly, the critical energy density $\rho_c$ required for spatial
flatness is given by:
$$
\rho_c = \langle\rho\rangle h_0^2 \; .
$$
Current estimates give $h_0$ a value of around 0.65, which is what is
assumed below. All values are in the SI units shown.
