内容記述 | Since their discovery twenty years ago, the origin of gamma-ray bursts (GRB's) has remained an intriguing mystery. The quest to understand these objects has given rise to a plethora of competing theories. Several theories suggest that GRB's are galactic in origin while others suggest that GRB's are cosmological. One piece of evidence that might provide scientistis with a key to understanding the origin of GRB's may be whether or not spectral emission and absorption features exist in burst spectra. If the features exist and can be attributed to either cyclotron lines or to red-shifted 511 keV annihilation lines then credence would be given to those theories that support a galactic origin, i.e. near neutron stars. A method of searching for spectral features in burst spectra (BATSE HER data) is outlined. |
