We present a systematic search for short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the local Universe based on 14 years of observations with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. We cross-correlate the GRB positions with the GLADE catalogue of…
If gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are cosmological they need not necessarily be spatially coincident with a host galaxy--in many cosmological models the progenitors are ejected to large distances from their parent galaxies. While the optical…
Cosmic gamma-ray bursts are one of the great frontiers of astrophysics today. They are a playground of relativists and observers alike. They may teach us about the death of stars and the birth of black holes, the physics in extreme…
There is empirical evidence that the two-point correlation function of the galaxy distribution follows, for small scales, reasonably well a power-law expression $\xi(r)\propto r^{-\gamma}$ with $\gamma$ between 1.5 and 1.9. Nevertheless,…
We analyze the quasar two-point correlation function (2pCF) within the redshift interval $0.8<z<2.2$ using a sample of 52303 quasars selected from the recent 7th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our approach to 2pCF uses a…
We carry out a search for signatures of cosmological time dilation in the light curves of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. For this purpose, we calculate two different durations ($T_{50}$ and…
It has been suggested recently that the rate of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is proportional to the star formation rate in the universe. In this paper, we study the nature of GRB hosts expected in this scenario. We improve upon previous studies…
We show that the time variability of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) appears to be correlated with the absolute luminosity of the burst: smooth bursts are intrinsically less luminous. This Cepheid-like relationship can be used to determine the…
We have used the Ep,i-Eiso correlation of GRBs to measure the cosmological parameter Omega_M. By adopting a maximum likelihood approach which allows us to correctly quantify the extrinsic (i.e. non--Poissonian) scatter of the correlation,…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most violent explosions in the Universe and can be used to explore the properties of high-redshift universe. It is believed that the long GRBs are associated with the deaths of massive stars. So it is…
Gamma ray bursts can potentially be used as distance indicators, providing the possibility of extending the Hubble diagram to redshifts ~7. Here we follow the analysis of Schaefer (2007), with the aim of distinguishing the timescape…
We applied cosmological and absorption corrections to the X-ray and optical afterglow fluxes of a sample of Gamma-Ray Burst sources of known distance. We find a good correlation in X-rays and that the GRBs in our sample form two well…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful electromagnetic outbursts in the Universe and emit a vast amount of their energy in the form of gamma rays. Their duration is extremely short on cosmic timescales, but they show a wealth of time…
We show that the Euclidean value of <V/Vmax> for gamma-ray bursts (GRB) selected on a timescale of 1024 ms is correlated with spectral hardness. The value of <V/Vmax> ranges from 0.42 for soft bursts to 0.26 for the hardest bursts. Given…
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 $z\le5.6$ and the FULL sample contains 151 long…
Relations connecting gamma ray burst quantities can be used to constrain cosmographic parameters of the Hubble law at medium-high redshifts. We consider a sample of 27 gamma ray bursts to construct the luminosity distance to redshift…
Brightness distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) is studied in detail under the assumption that GRB rate is related to cosmic star formation rate. The two populations of the long- and short-duration bursts in the 4B BATSE catalog are…
In this paper, we obtain two improved Amati correlations of the Gamma-Ray burst (GRB) data via a powerful statistical tool called copula. After calibrating, with the low-redshift GRB data, the improved Amati correlations based on a fiducial…
The $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter ($\Lambda$CDM) cosmological model has been highly successful in predicting cosmic structure and evolution, yet recent precision measurements have highlighted discrepancies, especially in the Hubble constant…
Assuming that the observed gamma-ray burst (GRB) rate as a function of redshift is proportional to a corrected star formation rate, we derive the empirical distribution of the viewing angles of long BATSE GRBs, $P^{\rm em}(\theta)$, and the…
