 Posted: March 05 2010 Please help me, what is the difference between the following dL relations 1. FRW model $d_L=5 \mbox{log} \left( (1+z) \frac{c}{H_0} |\Omega_k|^{-1/2}\ \mbox{Sinn} \left[ \ |\Omega_k|^{1/2} \int _{0}^{z} [(1+z^{\prime })^{2}(1+\Omega_{m}z^{\prime})-z^{\prime}(2+z^{\prime} )(\Omega _{\Lambda})]^{-1/2}\; dz^{\prime} \right] \right)$ where Ωk = 1 − Ωm − ΩΛ Sinn(x) = Sin(x) for Ωm + ΩΛ > 1 Sinn(x) = Sinh(x) for Ωm + ΩΛ < 0 and Sinn(x) = x for Ωm + ΩΛ = 1 (From Moncy & Narlikar, astro-ph/0111122, Drell et. al., astro-ph/9905027) 2. ΛCDM model $d_L=5 \mbox{log} \left( (1+z) \frac{c}{H_0} |\Omega_k|^{-1/2}\ \mbox{Sinn} \left[ \ |\Omega_k|^{1/2} \int _{0}^{z} [\Omega_m (1+z^{\prime }) ^3+\Omega_k (1+z^{\prime })^2+\Omega_\Lambda]^{-1/2}\; dz^{\prime} \right] \right)$ where $\Omega_k=\frac{k}{H_0 ^2}$ Sinn(x) = Sin(x) for k > 0 Sinn(x) = Sinh(x) for k < 0 and Sinn(x) = x for k = 0 (From Szydlowski and Godlowski, astro-ph/0509415) Can I put Ωk = 1 − Ωm − ΩΛ in the second case (ΛCDM) as well? Kindly treat me as a beginner and correct me.

Yes, if you do that and perform some algebra you should find that they're exactly the same equation.
