During the pre-Swift era, a clustering of light curves was observed in the X-ray, optical and infrared afterglow of gamma-ray bursts. We used a sample of 254 GRB X-ray afterglows to check this fact in the Swift era. We corrected fluxes for distance, time dilation and losses of energy due to cosmological effects. With all our data in hand, we faced with a problem: our data were scattered. We investigated 3 possibilities to explain this, namely: the clustering does not exist, there are problems during calibration of data, and there are instrumental problems. We finally confirm that our sample is consistent with Dainotti correlation.

  1. Gamma-Ray Bursts as an Independent High-Redshift Probe of Dark Energy

    Forecasts show that ~66 optical GRBs can achieve σ_w ≈ 0.47 in wCDM using Dainotti relations, matching Planck precision and enabling independent high-redshift tests of dark energy.
