GRB as a tool for cosmologyGRB as a tool for cosmology Cosmology became experimental science
Universe space-time properties measured using supernovae as standard candles up to z = 0.97
Gamma Ray Bursts may become more powerful standard candles
The farest GRB observed has z = 6.2 !

Gamma Ray Bursts - GRB
Short (0.01-100s) –ray pulses From pointlike sources in the sky Brighter than the rest of the sky (in -rays) Energy 1051 erg (=1010 years of Sun emission) Distance up to z=6.2 Frequency 2-3 per day Discovered in 1967 by military satellites VELA So far >3000 observed
including ~100 in visible lightdistance measured for ~70
Observed in radio waves, X-rays, ~GeV,TeV

GRB’s today and tomorrowGRB’s today and tomorrow
Today: gamma emission well understood central engine(s) still uncertain
Tomorrow: coincidence with TeV photons, neutrinos, etc optical observations before and during GRB using GRB as standard candles for cosmology

„ of the Sky” is optimized for t < t0 + 60 s
Only 14 measurements by other experiments exist in this range
Extrapolation to 30s from later time suggest, that „ of the Sky” will see ~1/4 of visible GRB
