Cosmology with Gamma-Ray Bursts Using k-correction

In the case of Gamma Ray Bursts with measured redshift, we can calculate the k-correction to get the fluence and energy that were actually produced in the comoving system of the GRB. To achieve this we have to use well-fitted parameters of GRB spectrum, available in the GCN database. The output of t...

Description
Summary:In the case of Gamma Ray Bursts with measured redshift, we can calculate the k-correction to get the fluence and energy that were actually produced in the comoving system of the GRB. To achieve this we have to use well-fitted parameters of GRB spectrum, available in the GCN database. The output of the calculations is the comoving isotropic energy E<sub><em>iso</em></sub>, but this is not the endpoint: this data can be useful forestimating the Ω<sub>M</sub> parameter of the Universe and for making a GRB Hubble diagram usig Amati’s relation.
