dc.descriptionWe combine recent long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) sample including 52 objects out to z$=$6.3 compiled from Swift Gamma Ray Bursts by Schaefer (2006) with Type Ia Supernova (SNIa), Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Baryon Oscillation (BAO) to constrain cosmologies. We study the constraints arising from GRBs alone and the complementarity of GRBs to other cosmological probes. To analyze the cosmological role of GRBs, we adopt the Hubble constant as a free parameter with a prior in the range of $H_0=72\pm8\enspace\kmsmpc$ instead of a fixed $H_0$ used in previous studies. By jointly using SNIa gold/SNLS samples and GRBs, the constraints on \Om -\Ol parameter space are dramatically improved in comparing with those from SNIa data alone. The complementarity of GRBs is mostly from the sub-sample with z$>$1.5 due to the different parameter degeneracies involved in luminosity distances at different redshifts. Including GRB data in addition to SNIa, BAO and CMB in our analysis, we find that the concordance model with \Om $\sim$0.3 and \Ol$\sim$0.7 is still well within 1$σ$ confidence range.
