title = "The redshift distribution of long gamma-ray bursts",
abstract = "We study the redshift distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with Montecarlo simulations, assuming a comoving rate proportional to the star formation rate. We then use the energy band and flux threshold of several instruments (BATSE, HETE2 and SWIFT) to compute the observed distributions. Model parameters are constrained by fitting simultaneously (i) the log(N)-log(P) diagram of BATSE bursts; (ii) the Epeak distribution of bright BATSE bursts; (iii) the proportion of X-ray rich GRBs and X-ray flashes observed by HETE-2. This allows us to predict the redshift distribution of GRBs detected by SWIFT. We compare it with actual data, in the aim to discriminate between different possible SFRs at high redshift.",
