Relativity at Action or Gamma-Ray Bursts

Piran, Tsvi

Original · EN

Gamma ray Bursts (GRBs) - short bursts of few hundred keV γ-rays - have fascinated astronomers since their accidental discovery in the sixties. GRBs were ignored by most relativists who did not expect that they are associated with any relativistic phenomenon. The recent observations of the BATSE detector on the Compton GRO satellite have revolutionized our ideas on these bursts and the picture that emerges shows that GRBs are the most relativistic objects discovered so far.
