Scientific paper

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been controversial since their discovery, mainly because of the absence of counterparts at any other wavelength that would help identify the nature of the astrophysical object associated with them. The most controversial GRB is that of 5 March 1979, precisely because there is an accurate positional identification of this burst with the supernova renmant N49 in LMC. Such an association would fix the distance at 55 kpc, and with the observed flux would require prodigious energy and luminosity from this GRB, casting doubt, on theoretical ground, on its distance and its physical association with the LMC.
