Construction and Preliminary Application of the Variability -> Luminosity Estimator
arXiv:astro-ph/0103255 · doi:10.1063/1.1419620
Abstract
We present a possible Cepheid-like luminosity estimator for the long-duration gamma-ray bursts based on the variability of their light curves. We also present a preliminary application of this luminosity estimator to 907 long-duration bursts from the BATSE catalog.
