Gamma-Ray Bursts: Afterglows, Gamma-Ray Bursts: Origin

Scientific paper

Thanks to the prominent operations of the BeppoSAX satellite, X-ray, optical and even radio afterglows from several γ-ray bursts were observed recently, leading to a great breakthrough in the field. GRB 970228 seems to be associated with a faint host galaxy, and its optical afterglow kept detectable for more than six months; GRB 970508 shows a complex behaviour in optical bands, its redshift has been determined to be 0.835 ≤ z ≤ 2.1, and a radio flare was observed about five days after the burst. These observations strongly suggest a cosmological origin for γ-ray bursts and the so called fireball model is favored currently.
