An Effect Study of Structural Jets on the Long Gamma-Ray Burst Formation Rate at Low Redshift by Qi Guo, Qi Tan, Benyun Shi

“…After correcting for the redshift evolution, the luminosity function can be expressed as $\psi ({L}_{0})\propto {L}_{0}^{-0.17\pm 0.01}$ for dim LGRBs and $\psi ({L}_{0})\propto {L}_{0}^{-1.36\pm 0.05}$ for bright LGRBs, and the formation rate at z < 1 shows an increase. Then we use Monte Carlo simulations to create pseudo-GRBs with structured jets and calculate the formation rates assuming that the actual LGRB formation rate at low redshift is proportional to the SRF. …”
