Time-dilation, Log N-Log P, and cosmology

Abstract

We investigate whether a simple cosmology can fit GRB results in both time dilation and Log N - Log P simultaneously. Simplifying assumptions include: all GRBs are spectrally identical to BATSE trigger 143, $Ω=1$ universe, and no luminosity and number density evolution. Observational data used includes: the BATSE 3B peak brightness distribution (64-ms time scale), the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) brightness distribution, and the Norris et al. time dilation results for peak aligned profiles presented at this meeting. We find acceptable cosmological fits to the brightness distributions when placing BATSE trigger 143 at a redshift of 0.15 $\pm$ 0.10. This translates into a $(1 + z_{dim}) / (1 + z_{bright})$ factor of about 1.50 $\pm$ 0.50 between selected brightness extremes of the Norris et al. sample. Norris et al. estimate, however, that $(1 + z_{dim}) / (1 + z_{bright})$ $\approx$ 2.0 $\pm$ 0.5 when considering duration tests. The difference is marginal and could be accounted for by evolution. We therefore find that evolution of GRBs is preferred but not demanded.
