We compare the detection rates and redshift distributions of low-luminosity (LL) GRBs localized by Swift with those expected to be observed by the new generation satellite detectors on GLAST (now Fermi) and, in future, EXIST. Although the GLAST burst telescope will be less sensitive than Swifts in the 15--150 keV band, its large field-of-view implies that it will double Swifts detection rate of LL bursts. We show that Swift, GLAST and EXIST should detect about 1, 2 & 30 LL GRBs, respectively, over a 5-year operational period. The burst telescope on EXIST should detect LL GRBs at a rate of more than an order of magnitude greater than that of Swifts BAT. We show that the detection horizon for LL GRBs will be extended from $z simeq 0.4$ for Swift to $z simeq 1.1$ in the EXIST era. Also, the contribution of LL bursts to the observed GRB redshift distribution will contribute to an identifiable feature in the distribution at $z simeq 1$.
(abridged) The association of GRB 980425 with SN 1998bw at z=0.0085 implies the existence of a population of GRBs with an isotropic-equivalent luminosity which is about 10^4 times smaller than in the standard cosmological case. We investigate two sce
The correlation between the peak spectra energy ($E_p$) and the equivalent isotropic energy ($E_{rm iso}$) of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the so-called Amati relation, is often used to constrain the high-redshift Hubble diagram. Assuming Lambda col
Previous work concerning planet formation around low-mass stars has often been limited to large planets and individual systems. As current surveys routinely detect planets down to terrestrial size in these systems, a more holistic approach that refle
Low-luminosity galaxies are known to outnumber the bright galaxy population in poor groups and clusters of galaxies. Yet, the investigation of low-luminosity galaxy populations outside the Local Group remains rare and the dependence on different grou
Third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave (GW) detectors will be able to observe binary-black-hole mergers (BBHs) up to redshift of $sim 30$. This gives unprecedented access to the formation and evolution of BBHs throughout cosmic history. In this pap
