abstract
We carry out a search for signatures of cosmological time dilation in the light curves of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. For this purpose, we calculate two different durations ($T_{50}$ and $T_{90}$) for a sample of 247 GRBs in the fixed rest frame energy interval of 140-350 keV, similar to Zhang et al. We then carry out a power law-based regression analysis between the durations and redshifts. This search is done using both the unbinned as well as the binned data, where both the weighted mean and the geometric mean was used. For each analysis, we also calculate the intrinsic scatter to determine the tightness of the relation. We find that weighted mean-based binned data for long GRBs and the geometric mean-based binned data is consistent with the cosmological time dilation signature, whereas the analyses using unbinned durations show a very large scatter. We also make our analysis codes and the procedure for obtaining the light curves and estimation of $T_{50}$/$T_{90}$ publicly available.

3+1 formalism of the minimally extended varying speed of light model
The paper re-derives the meVSL model's Friedmann equations using the 3+1 formalism and identifies the lapse function with the varying speed of light, but only after silently replacing the speed of light c with tilde c...
