Gamma ray bursts: Confrontation between theory and observational data
Abstract
The current observational data and theoretical models of cosmic gamma ray bursts are reviewed. The evidences for and physics issues of a teragauss field neutron star interpretation are summarized. Constraints on the baseline emission scenario are highlighted. A brief comparison is given of some popular astrophysical models. Some priorities for future observations and data analyses are suggested.
