Acknowledgements This research was supported by the ASI-INAF contract ( 1/005/11/1 ). The author would like to thank A. Melandri for providing the X-ray light curve for the z > 6 sample, S. Campana for providing the measure of the N H , X for some of the high- z bursts, G. Ghirlanda for providing the E iso values and the expected rate of GRBs at z > 8 .
Abstract
Ten years of operations of the Swift satellite have allowed us to collect a small sample of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) at redshift larger than 6. I will review here the present status of this research field and discuss the possible use of GRBs as a fundamental new tool to explore the early Universe, complementary to quasar and galaxy surveys.
