The galaxy population hosting gamma-ray bursts

S Savaglio, K Glazebrook… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the most extensive and complete study of the properties for the largest sample

The Hubble diagram to redshift> 6 from 69 gamma-ray bursts

BE Schaefer - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
One of the few ways to measure the properties of dark energy is to extend the Hubble
diagram (HD) to higher redshifts with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). GRBs have at least five …

Gamma-ray burst energetics and the gamma-ray burst Hubble diagram: promises and limitations

JS Bloom, DA Frail, SR Kulkarni - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a complete sample of 29 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which it has been
possible to determine temporal breaks (or limits) from their afterglow light curves. We …

Toward a more standardized candle using gamma-ray burst energetics and spectra

AS Friedman, JS Bloom - The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
The use of gamma-ray burst (GRB) energetics for cosmography has long been advanced as
a means to probe out to high redshifts, to the epoch of deceleration. However, although …
