contents GAMMA-RAY BURSTS, NEW COSMOLOGICAL BEACONS V. Avila-Reese C. Firmani G. Ghisellini J. I. Cabrera Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas gamma rays: bursts stars: formation Cosmology: observations Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the brightest electromagnetic explosions in the Universe, associated to the death of massive stars. As such, GRBs are potential tracers of the evolution of the cosmic massive star formation, metallicity, and Initial Mass Function. GRBs also proved to be appealing cosmological distance indicators. This opens a unique opportunity to constrain the cosmic expansion history up to redshifts 5-6. A brief review on both subjects is presented here. 2009 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57115758071 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.35
