Exploring the Origins of Gamma Ray Burst Redshift Distribution in the Early Universe

Abstract

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) stand out as the most potent occurrences in the cosmos and hold promise as consistent benchmarks for cosmological inquiries. Analysis of data collected by NASA's Swift satellite unveils a trend in the distribution of GRB frequency, peaking within a redshift range of 1 to 3. Within this paper, we categorize GRBs by their duration and deliberate on the source of their parent entities. Our investigation illuminates the mechanisms behind the formation of supermassive black holes and massive stars during the early stages of the universe, demonstrating how these processes, alongside other pertinent phenomena, contribute to the heightened occurrence of GRBs that peak at elevated redshift levels.
