Are Gamma-Ray Bursts At Cosmological Distances?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
We review the discovery of gamma-ray bursts, and summarise the new data from the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. We evaluate the evidence that gamma-ray bursts are at cosmological distances, and discuss applications of such gamma-ray bursts to cosmological problems.
