Scientific paper

Key observational properties of long-duration and short-duration GRBs will be reviewed briefly and discussed in the context of current theoretical models. Emphasis will be on a critical assessment of what we know with confidence and the extent of speculation. The discussion will include issues regarding the central engine, progenitors, afterglows, and host galaxy properties. We address the extent to which GRBs may serve as a probe of ultra-relativistic physics, and their use as a tool of cosmology. The latter issue is divided into their use for determining cosmological parameters and their use as background ``light bulbs'' to trace cosmic chemical evolution.
