Scientific paper

It is shown here that no single class of gamma-ray bursts, either Galactic or cosmological in origin can explain recent observations which suggest that the distribution of gamma-ray burst sources is isotropic about the earth's position but also radially nonuniform. It is argued that the constraints can be reconciled if there are at least two distinct classes of bursts. Two kinds of burst are considered which both originate on Galactic neutron stars but which differ in intrinsic luminosity by a factor of 10 exp 5.
