Abstract

We constrain the deceleration-acceleration epoch, namely the transition redshift ztrz_{tr}, adopting model-independent techniques that utilize a calibrated EpE_{\rm p}-EisoE_{\rm iso} correlation for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). To do so, in addition to real data points, we employ up to 10001000 simulated observational Hubble data (OHD) points. We then calibrate the EpE_{\rm p}-EisoE_{\rm iso} correlation by means of the well-consolidate B\'ezier polynomial technique, interpolating OHD up to the second order. Once GRB data have been calibrated, we consider two strategies of cosmographic expansions, i.e., first we take a direct Hubble rate expansion around ztrz_{tr}, and second the expansion of the deceleration parameter around the same redshift, but with a different order. Employing type Ia supernovae, baryonic acoustic oscillations and GRB data sets, from Monte Carlo analyses we infer tight constraints on ztrz_{tr} and the jerk parameters at z=ztrz=z_{tr}, namely jtrj_{tr}. Our results are extremely compatible with previous outcomes and confirm the Λ\LambdaCDM predictions, being slightly different in terms of the jerk parameter. In this respect, we conjecture which extensions of the concordance paradigm are possible and we compare our findings with expectations provided by generic dark energy models.
