DISCERNING THE PHYSICAL ORIGINS OF COSMOLOGICAL GAMMA-RAY BURSTS BASED ON MULTIPLE OBSERVATIONAL CRITERIA: THE CASES OF<i>z</i>= 6.7 GRB 080913,<i>z</i>= 8.2 GRB 090423, AND SOME SHORT/HARD GRBs

DISCERNING THE PHYSICAL ORIGINS OF COSMOLOGICAL GAMMA-RAY BURSTS BASED ON MULTIPLE OBSERVATIONAL CRITERIA: THE CASES OF<i>z</i>= 6.7 GRB 080913,<i>z</i>= 8.2 GRB 090423, AND SOME SHORT/HARD GRBs

(Abridged) The two high-redshift gamma-ray bursts, GRB 080913 at z=6.7 and GRB 090423 at z=8.3, recently detected by Swift appear as intrinsically short, hard GRBs. They could have been recognized by BATSE as short/hard GRBs should they have occurred at z &lt;= 1. We perform a more thorough investigation on …
