Cosmology and the subclasses of the gamma-ray bursts

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

Several statistical studies - done also by the authors of this contribution - show that there are three subclasses of gamma-ray bursts. They can be called as short, intermediate and long ones, because they can be separated with respect to their durations.

The short and intermediate bursts are distributed anisotropically on the sky. This behavior is highly remarkable, and can have a cardinal impact on the cosmology.

The subject of this contribution is a survey of this topic.
