| Abstract | The lag-luminosity relation for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is an anti-correlation between the time-lag, τ $_{lag}$, which represents the delay between the arrival of high-energy and low-energy photons, and the isotropic peak luminosity, L. In this paper, we investigate the possible redshift evolution of this relation by using a sample of 31 Swift bursts. Our analysis consists of binning the data in the redshift, z , then applying a fit of the form: log(L) = A + B log(τ $_{lag0}$/〈τ $_{lag0}$〉) for each bin, whereτ $_{lag0}$ is the time-lag in the burst’s rest frame, and 〈τ $_{lag0}$〉 is the corresponding mean value for the entire sample. The objective is to see whether the two fitting parameters, A and B , evolve in a systematic way with z. Our results indicate that the normalization, A, does seem to vary in a systematic way with redshift. The slope, B, does show some dependence on z, but this dependence is less pronounced than that of A. It should be noted, however, that although good best-fits were obtained, with reasonable values for both the linear regression coefficient, r, and the reduced chi-squared, the data showed large scatter. Furthermore, the number of GRBs in the sample studied is rather small, and so our conclusions are only tentative at this point. A flat universe with Ω $_{ M }$ = 0.27, Ω $_{ Λ }$ = 0.73 , and a Hubble constant, H $_{0}$ = 70 km s$^{−1}$ Mpc$^{−1}$ is assumed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
