<p>A class describing an isotropic and homogeneous

<p>This is an abstract base class &#8211; you can&#8217;t instantiate
examples of this class, but must work with one of its
subclasses such as <a class="reference internal" href="astropy.cosmology.core.LambdaCDM.html#astropy.cosmology.core.LambdaCDM" title="astropy.cosmology.core.LambdaCDM"><tt class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">LambdaCDM</span></tt></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="astropy.cosmology.core.wCDM.html#astropy.cosmology.core.wCDM" title="astropy.cosmology.core.wCDM"><tt class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">wCDM</span></tt></a>.</p>

<p>Class instances are static &#8211; you can&#8217;t change the values
of the parameters.  That is, all of the attributes above are
read only.</p>
<p>The neutrino treatment assumes all neutrino species are massless.</p>
