Scientific paper

The problem of the precise positions of the sources of gamma-ray burst radiation is addressed herein. A method of incorporating all the timing and location information for all omnidirectional detectors triggered by a gamma-ray burst is presented. The method rests upon the fact that the (approximately) plane wave of radiation that sweeps across the solar system has an invariant phase. In the special cases of two or three detectors the results derived from the new statistical principle are in accordance with those already in use. The new method can be applied simultaneously to any number (N greater than 2) of sensors.
