Scientific paper

The observation of the very early stages of the Universe represents one of the main challenges of modern cosmology. The direct investigation of the early Universe has been usually accomplished by observing distant quasars, but a new fundamental tool is now at hand thanks to Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs). Indeed, the observation of GRB 090423 at a redshift of z = 8.2 has shown that GRBs can be detected at redshift higher than any other astrophysical objects. We will discuss here the possible use of high-z GRBs as a fundamental new tool to study the Universe at those early epochs.
