Scientific paper

The nature of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomena remains a puzzle in spite of the wealth of observational data because no source object has been identified. Great effort has therefore already been expended in counterpart searches; yet, even at the limit of current technology, no counterpart is known. The unique ultraviolet imaging capabilities of HST allow for a qualitatively new type of search--where we seek emission from the neutron star component. If we can find a counterpart, we could for the first time measure distance and temperature. We would be likely to eliminate most of the many GRB models and provide a significant observational base for theory. Hence, we believe that an HST counterpart would represent the biggest advance in knowledge in this field since the discovery of GRB's.
