Abstract

Illuminating the Cosmic Distance Scale: Gamma-Ray Bursts as Standard Candles

Author(s): Jack Wilson*

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), among the most energetic events in the universe, have emerged as invaluable tools for probing the cosmos across vast distances. With their remarkable luminosities and well-defined properties, GRBs serve as "standard candles" for measuring cosmic distances and unraveling the intricacies of the universe's expansion. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of GRBs, exploring their origins, characteristics and the methods employed to utilize them as standard candles. By harnessing the power of these cosmic beacons, astronomers gain unprecedented insights into the structure, evolution and fate of the universe.
