Using jet breaks to estimate GRB distances
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 May 2006
Abstract
Recent observations have suggested that the true energy release of GRBs is potentially far less than previously thought. This is due to beaming, a signature of which is a broadband break in the power-law decay of the afterglow emission. Taking these results we have constructed a basic distance estimator, which may be useful as a diagnostic tool for the large amount of GRBs without a spectroscopically measured redshift.
