Article: New findings in science described from Nanjing University.(Report)

According to recent research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, "The large scatters of luminosity relations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been one of the most important reasons that prevent the extensive applications of GRBs in cosmology."

"In this paper, we extend the two-dimensional (2D) luminosity relations with tau(lag), V, E-peak, and tau(RT) as the luminosity indicators to three dimensions (3D) using the same set of luminosity indicators to explore the possibility of decreasing the intrinsic scatters. We find that, for the 3D luminosity relations between the luminosity and an energy scale (E-peak) and a timescale (tau(lag) or tau(RT)), their ...
