The distribution of γ‐ray bursts as observed by BATSE rules out the galactic disk origin, and it is consistent with the cosmological origin. Much work is currently done to reconcile galactic halo distribution with the absence of dipole and quadrupole moments in the positions of BATSE bursts. A relativistic expansion of the source is implied by both the

Space Science Reviews, 1977 γ-ray astronomy is the study of the most energetic photons originating in our Galaxy and beyond, and therefore, provides the most direct means of studying the largest transfers of energy occurring in astrophysical processes. The first certain detection of celestialγ-rays came from a satellite experiment flown on OSO-III (Kraushaaret al., 1972); more ...

Gamma-ray bursts and gamma-ray blazars
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1994We propose that cosmological gamma‐ray bursts are produced when modestly sized black holes tidally disrupt stars, energizing relativistically outflowing jets and producing bursts for favorably oriented observers. The crucial test of this model is the detection of soft x‐ray flares with durations of ∼102 s and fluences ∼10−10−10−6 ergs cm−2 at rates of ...

Gamma-ray polarimetry can provide a powerful diagnostic of the high-energy physics at work in the most extreme sources of the universe: active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, black hole binaries, pulsars, etc. The linear polarisation information of gamma-ray sources is measured using Compton scattering up to a few MeV and the conversion of high ...

Gamma-ray Astrophysics with AGILE
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2006AGILE will explore the gamma‐ray Universe with a very innovative instrument combining for the first time a gamma‐ray imager and a hard X‐ray imager. AGILE will be operational in spring 2007 and it will provide crucial data for the study of Active Galactic Nuclei, Gamma‐Ray Bursts, unidentified gamma‐ray sources.

The time histories, size spectrum, spatial distribution, and repetition rates of gamma ray bursts are reviewed briefly. Evidence for a neutron star origin for gamma ray bursts may be found in many of these aspects of bursters. New results from optical searches are described.

Abstract The potential value of investigation of the γ-ray content of cosmic radiation has long been recognized, but evaluation of measurements made with high-flying balloons is difficult because of the generation of secondary γ-rays in the atmosphere above the detector.

Physics World, 1998 Gamma-ray bursts are one of the top unsolved mysteries in astrophysics, alongside such burning issues as the nature of dark matter and the cosmological constant. We have known of the existence of gamma-ray bursts for over 25 years, but these short flashes of gamma rays have defied all our attempts to understand their causes and origin.

OBSERVATIONS OF THE HIGHEST ENERGY GAMMA-RAYS FROM GAMMA-RAY BURSTS
The Ninth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, 2001EGRET has extended the highest energy observations of gamma-ray bursts to GeV gamma rays. Such high energies imply the fireball that is radiating the gamma-rays has a bulk Lorentz factor of several hundred. However, EGRET only detected a few gamma-ray bursts. GLAST will likely detect several hundred bursts and may extend the maximum energy to a few 100
