Formation Rate, Evolving Luminosity Function, Jet Structure, and Progenitors for Long Gamma Ray Bursts
We constrain the luminosity function and formation rate of long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) by using both the observed peak flux and redshift distributions. From our analysis, evidence supporting an evolution of the luminosity function is found. We compare the inferred GRB formation rate history to the cosmic star formation history up to z∼6. Some implications of our findings for the jet models, GRB ev...

متن کاملLow Luminosity Gamma-ray Bursts as a Unique Population: Luminosity Function, Local Rate, and Beaming Factor
The newly discovered GRB 060218 is a nearby event with low luminosity, resembling GRBs 980425 and 031203. The fact that it was discovered by Swift slightly over 1-year operation suggests that the GRB rate of these low luminosity GRBs (LL-GRBs) should be much higher than previous expected, and that they form a distinct new class of GRBs with respect to the conventional high luminosity GRBs (HL-G...
متن کاملCosmic Gamma - Ray Bursts
1. Abstract GRBs have remained a puzzle for many high–energy astrophysicists since their discovery in 1967. With the advent of the X–ray satellites BeppoSAX and RossiXTE, it has been possible to carry out deep multi-wavelength observations of the counterparts associated with the GRBs just within a few hours of occurence, thanks to the observation of the fading X-ray emission that follows the mo...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts and the Cosmic Star Formation Rate
We have tested several models of GRB luminosity and redshift distribution functions for compatibility with the BATSE 4B number versus peak flux relation. Our results disagree with recent claims that current GRB observations can be used to strongly constrain the cosmic star formation history. Instead, we find that relaxing the assumption that GRBs are standard candles renders a very broad range ...
