Zusammenfassung: | The determination of distances is highly constrained to a small number of
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) because it requires observations at different
wavelengths. Some empirical functions to estimate redshifts have been
identified using populations of GRBs with reported redshifts. For example, the
Amati correlation relates $E_{peak}$ of the spectrum when modeled with a Band
function and the total energy emitted $E_{iso}$ in a time integrated analysis.
A multiple-component scenario has been proposed in order to explain GRBs
spectra, and in this context when a fine-time spectral analysis is performed a
correlation between the non-thermal component's peak energy and the luminosity
($E_{peak,i} - L_i$) appears. This correlation is also used to infer distances
to GRBs. In this work we present a sample of bright GRBs and apply these
empirical correlations to constrain the pseudo-redshift of the selected burst
sample. Our results for GRB080916C, GRB090926A and GRB150214A with reported
redshift are totally consistent. Another three bursts with lower luminosities
were selected. For these bursts, the pseudo-redshift range obtained with the
two correlations are not totally in agreement. |
