R. Salvaterra
TL;DR
This paper reviews the progress in detecting high-redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts using Swift, highlighting their potential as new tools to study the early Universe alongside quasars and galaxies.
Contribution
It provides an overview of the current status of high-redshift GRB research and discusses their application in early Universe exploration.
Findings
Detection of GRBs at redshift >6 over ten years
Potential of GRBs to probe the early Universe
Complementary role of GRBs to quasars and galaxy surveys
Abstract
Ten years of operations of the Swift satellite have allow us to collect a small sample of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) at redshift larger than six. I will review here the present status of this research field and discuss the possible use of GRBs as a fundamental new tool to explore the early Universe, complementary to quasar and galaxy surveys.
