Finding high-redshift gamma-ray bursts in tandem near-infrared and optical surveys

Gamma-ray bursts are linked to the most distant objects in the Universe, but detecting them is a rare event. With a dedicated near-infrared telescope to observe in tandem with the optical Vera Rubin Observatory, ten or so high-redshift (z greater than or similar to 6) gamma-ray bursts could potentially be detected every year.

Automated summary

Gamma-ray bursts, which are associated with the most distant objects in the Universe, can be detected more frequently by utilizing a dedicated near-infrared telescope in tandem with the optical Vera Rubin Observatory, with approximately ten high-redshift (z greater than or similar to 6) gamma-ray bursts potentially detectable each year.
