Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are luminous enough to be detectable up to redshift $z\sim 10$. They are often proposed as complementary tools to type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in tracing the Hubble diagram of the Universe. The distance calibrations…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense, short-lived bursts of gamma-ray radiation observed up to a high redshift ($z \sim 10$) due to their luminosities. Thus, they can serve as cosmological tools to probe the early Universe. However, we need…

We propose how to calibrate long gamma-ray burst (GRB) correlations employing intermediate redshift data sets, instead of limiting to $z\simeq0$ catalogs. To do so, we examine the most updated observational Hubble data (OHD) and baryonic…
