Scientific paper

The author proposes that resonant absorption of intense electromagnetic waves impinging onto a neutron star surface during a magnetic flare is the source of the hot electrons whose synchrotron radiation leads to γ-ray bursts. Parameters of the emission layer derived from first principles generally agree with empirical values.The luminosity-temperature scaling law observed by the KONUS experiment, if confirmed, may also be explained by this picture.
