Scientific paper

Temporal properties of cosmic gamma ray bursts are discussed, including duration, fluctuation, and frequencies. Energy fluxes and spectral properties are described. Directional data were used to provide estimates of the distance to the sources and the absolute luminosities involved, and it is found that the sources are distributed randomly over the sky. There is evidence to support a galactic origin; the sources lie in the local spiral of the galaxy at the distances of several hundred parsecs and have absolute luminosities equivalent to 10 to the 39th power per event. The known frequencies rule out normal novae and supernovae as the source.
