Scientific paper

We review the models of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with relativistic baryon-dominated ejecta: the Weibel-jitter model and the vorticity model. The former may also be relevant to the magnetic-dominated outflows. We discuss the origin of magnetic fields, mechanisms of electron heating/acceleration, nature and properties of the emitted radiation and the relevance of computer modeling to realistic GRBs. We discuss observational effects and predictions that, hopefully, will allow us to discriminate between the models.
