Gamma-ray bursts are intense fluxes of radiation in the 100 keV to several MeV energy range which typically persist for between a fraction of a second to several seconds. The observed spectral shape of these bursts suggest that the radiation is emitted as highly collimated beams emanating from neutron stars. This inference is based on the lack of significant gamma-gamma absorption (which are produced when gamma rays interact with stellar surfaces). The gamma-ray beams may be a consequence of a particle acceleration in double layers in neutron star magnetospheres.
