Dimensionless Hubble parameter $h$ is related to the Hubble constant $H_0$ via

$H_0 = h \times 100\;{\rm km/sec/Mpc}$

This definition is used almost unanimously in modern cosmology and astrophysics. Previous (now almost obsolete) notations include $h_{50} = H_0/50\;{\rm km/sec/Mpc}$ or $h_{70} = H_0/70\;{\rm km/sec/Mpc}$
