Theory

The rapid evolution the GRB observational astronomy is undergoing in this last year is affecting the theoretical scenario as well. However, for what concerns the pre-BeppoSAX era the observed properties of GRBs were compatible with three basic models for the possible site of the GRBs emitters: close to our Solar System, an extended halo of our Galaxy, at cosmological distances.
