Probing the high redshift universe with gamma-ray bursts

University of Leicester Department of Physics and Astronomy

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), are exceptionally bright explosions detectable at great distances. Some GRBs occurred during the first billion years in the life of the universe, and so can be used to probe the early stars and galaxies in which they arose, and their effects on the intergalactic medium around them.
