We compared redshifts zY measured from the Yonetoku relation and zlag from the lag-luminosity relation for 565 BATSE gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and were surprised to find that the correlation between these two redshifts is very low. Assuming that the luminosity is a function of both zY and the intrinsic spectral lag τlag, we found a new redshift-dependent lag-luminosity relation L = 7.5 × 1050ergs-1 (1 + z)2.53τ-0.282lag with the correlation coefficient of 0.77 and the chance probability of 7.9 × 10-75. Although the spectral lag is computed from two channels of the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE), our new lag-luminosity relation suggests that a future lag-luminosity relation defined in the Swift data should also depend on the redshift.
