Discovery of a tight correlation among the prompt emission properties of long Gamma Ray Bursts
C. Firmani, G. Ghisellini, V. Avila-Reese +1
We report the discovery of a correlation among three prompt emission properties of GRBs. These are the isotropic peak luminosity L_iso, the peak energy of the time-integrated promp…
The Hubble diagram extended to z>>1: the gamma-ray properties of GRBs confirm the Lambda-CDM model
C. Firmani, V. Avila-Reese, G. Ghisellini +1
Tight constraints on cosmological parameters can be obtained with standard candles spanning a range of redshifts as large as possible. We propose to treat SN Ia and long Gamma-Ray…
Long Gamma-Ray Burst prompt emission properties as a cosmological tool
C. Firmani, V. Avila-Reese, G. Ghisellini +1
Recently, a tight correlation among three quantities that characterize the prompt emission of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with known redshift z, was discovered (Firmani et al. 200…
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts as standard candles
D. Lazzati, G. Ghirlanda, G. Ghisellini +4
As soon as it was realized that long GRBs lie at cosmological distances, attempts have been made to use them as cosmological probes. Besides their use as lighthouses, a task that p…
