Estimation of the Star Formation Rate using Long-Gamma Ray Burst observed by SWIFT
Abstract
In this work we estimate the Star Formation Rate (SFR) through 333 Long-GRBs detected by Swift. This investigation is based on the empirical model proposed by Y\"uksel et al. (2008), basically, the SFR is estimated using long-GRBs considering that they have an stellar origin based on the Collapsar model or the collapse of massive stars (Hypernova) . The analysis starts with the study of which accounts the long-GRBs production rate and it is parameterized by where include the SFR absolute conversion to GRBs rate in a luminosity range already defined and is a dynamical parameter which changes at different regions of redshift it accounts the SFR slope which is obtained by an analysis of linear regression over our Long-GRBs sample, the results obtained provide evidence that support our proposal to use Long-GRBs as tracers of SFR.
