Scientific paper

A progress report on cosmic fireballs is presented. The main new results are: (1) the phenomenon should be almost universal, and most explosive gamma-ray sources should show the characteristic fireball spectrum; (2) even if the radiation density is insufficient, pair production in electron-proton or electron-electron scattering might start the fireball; and (3) some computed fireball spectra are shown. They all have in common a 1/E low-energy behavior, a 100 keV flattening, and a 0.5 MeV cut-off.
