Gamma-Ray Bursts as Cosmological Probes

Abstract: Abstract. The status and prospects for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as cosmological probes are reviewed. Long duration GRBs can potentially be used as an indicator of star formation rate (SFR), though GRB rate might be systematically different from SFR, by the effect of e.g. metallicity. There are several papers claiming that the cosmic GRB rate history is different from that of SFR in the sense that GRB rate is relatively higher than SFR at higher redshifts, which may be explained by the metallicity effect.
