Scientific paper

It is noted here that a neutron star may well acquire a large velocity at birth, causing it to drift through the Oort Cloud. As it crosses the most densely populated regions, collisions with comets could cause frequent gamma-ray bursts. Young SNRs may therefore be the site of some of the observed bursts, particularly the less energetic, more rapidly recurring type known as soft gamma-ray repeaters. SN1987A may become the source of gamma-ray bursts in a matter of decades.
