Testing the consistency of Gamma Ray Burst data-set and Supernovae Union2
Abstract
In this paper, we test the consistency of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) Data-set and Supernovae Union2 (SNU2) via the so-called multi-dimensional consistency test under the assumption that ΛCDM model is a potentially correct cosmological model. We find that the probes are inconsistent with 1.456σ and 85.47% in terms of probability. With this observation, it is concluded that GRBs can be combined with SNU2 to constrain cosmological models.
