Scientific paper

The observational status of gamma ray burst astronomy is reviewed, with emphasis on evidence for a neutron star origin. It is shown that features in burst time histories are compatible with several models involving neutron stars. Burst energy spectra remain difficult to interpret in any self consistent manner, and several observational difficulties exist. The spatial distribution of bursts is not consistent with their log N-log S relation. Counter parts in the X-ray, radio, and optical ranges revealed objects of various types, however coherent picture of burst sources has yet emerged.
