Description
A number of recent theory and simulation results by Nordlund, Hededal, Nishikawa, Medvedev, Brainerd and others are improving our understanding of the prompt emission of GRBs. Observations of GBM spectra from various instruments have consistently painted a picture that tends not to support the prevailing hydrodynamic synchrotron shock models. I will attempt to put the observations and the recent results together into a coherent picture that suggests new directions for future investigations by theory, simulations as well as observations, especially by GLAST
