Description

More than 400 bursts have now been detected; this paper reviews the main observational facts regarding their temporal structures, energy spectra and localizations and shows how these characteristics are related to a neutron star origin of gamma-ray bursts. The experiments planned in the near future, and the areas in which significant progress are expected, are presented
