Abstract

In this paper, we compile a \emph{Fermi} sample of the \emph{long} GRB observations from 15 years of GBM catalogue with identified redshift, in which the GOLD sample contains 123 long GRBs at z5.6z\le5.6 and the FULL sample contains 151 long GRBs with redshifts at z8.2z\le8.2. The Amati relation (the Ep,iE_{\rm p,i}-EisoE_{\rm iso} correlation) are calibrated at z<1.4z<1.4 by a Gaussian Process from the latest observational Hubble data (OHD) with the cosmic chronometers method so that GRBs at high-redshift z1.4z\ge1.4 can be used to constrain cosmological models via the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. From the cosmology-independent GRBs with the GOLD sample at z1.4z\ge1.4 and the Pantheon+ sample of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at 0.01<z2.30.01<z\leq2.3, we obtain Ωm=0.354±0.018,H0=73.05±0.2km/s/Mpc\Omega_{\rm m} = 0.354\pm0.018, H_0 = 73.05\pm0.2\,\rm{km/s/Mpc} for the flat Λ\LambdaCDM model; w0=1.220.15+0.18w_0 = -1.22^{+0.18}_{-0.15} for the flat wwCDM model; and wa=1.120.83+0.45w_{a} = -1.12^{+0.45}_{-0.83} for the flat Chevallier-Polarski-Linder model at the 1σ\sigma confidence level. Our results with the GOLD and FULL sample are almost identical, which are more stringent than the previous results with GRBs.
