| Popis: | The use of Gamma Ray Bursts as ``standard candles'' has been made possible by the recent discovery of a very tight correlation between their rest frame intrinsic properties. This correlation relates the GRB prompt emission peak spectral energy E_peak to the energy E_gamma corrected for the collimation angle theta_jet of these sources. The possibility to use GRBs to constrain the cosmological parameters and to study the nature of Dark Energy are very promising. 6 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings of the workshop 'Astrophysical sources of high energy particles and radiation', Torun - Poland 20-24 June 2005, Ed.
