Scientific paper

Although they were discovered more than 30 years ago, short gamma-ray bursts are still a mystery. All that we can be confident about is that they involve compact objects and highly relativistic dynamics. Most theoretical discussions attribute their energy production either to an accreting stellar mass black hole or to a precursor stage whose inevitable end point is a stellar mass black hole. Current ideas and prospects are briefly reviewed. There are, fortunately, several new observations that could help clarify the issues.
