The observational characteristics of gamma-ray bursts are reviewed, concerning their spectra as well as their temporal structure and spatial distribution. From this data, it is suggested that the sources belong to a thick halo population (scale height > 3 kpc), and that the mean recurrence time for one source is greater than 5 yr.

Gamma-ray bursts and cosmology
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2007I review the current status of the use of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as probes of the early Universe and cosmology. I describe the promise of long GRBs as probes of the high redshift ( z >4) and very high redshift ( z >5) Universe, and several key scientific results that have come from ...

We summarize the observed features of γ-ray bursts, with particular emphasis on the cyclotron lines seen in their spectra. We then discuss the theory of cyclotron resonant scattering, and compare the theoretical and observed line spectra. Finally, we mention some implications.

On the origin of gamma-ray bursts
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2008Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, occurring at cosmological distances. The initial phase of the emission from these bursts is predominantly of gamma rays and stems from a highly relativistic outflow. The nature of this emission is still under debate.

The theory of gamma-ray bursts
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1984A γ-ray burst occurs when a strongly magnetic neutron star experiences either a thermonuclear explosion in degenerate material accumulated over a long period of time or the sudden, greatly super-Eddington accretion of matter. Certain aspects of the thermonuclear model are briefly reviewed and special attention is devoted to mechanisms for producing the

Swift observations of gamma-ray bursts
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2007Since its launch on 20 November 2004, the Swift mission has been detecting approximately 100 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) each year, and immediately (within approx. 90 s) starting simultaneous X-ray and UV/optical observations of the afterglow.

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most relativistic objects discovered so far. I describe here two aspects of the relativistic nature of GRBs. Their likely association with the formation of black holes and their possible role as sources of gravitational radiation.

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.
