Conceptual image of this research: using Gamma Ray Bursts to determine distance in space. Credit: NAOJAn multinational team of 23 scientists, led by Maria Dainotti, Assistant Professor at the, has analyzed archival data for massive cosmic explosions produced by star deaths and discovered a new method to measure distances in the furthest reaches of the Universe.
This allows it to be possible to estimate the distance to the standard candle and, by extension, other objects in the same region by comparing the predicted absolute brightness to the apparent brightness . The scarcity of standard candles bright enough to be seen from more than 11 billion light-years distant has hampered research into the distant Universe.
