... GAMMA-RAY BURSTS . Nature of the cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRB) is still not clear, but there are arguments in favor of their cosmological origin with the red shifts up to 3-4. Cosmological GRB produce huge amount of energy, which is considered in the form of an expanding fireball, or rapidly (ultrarelativistically) moving cannon balls. ... To explain this phenomenon a specific distribution of matter around the source was considered. ... previous page . next page . ... CYGAM (PDF, 450 Kb) . ...

. Astronomers think gamma-ray bursts may be linked to black holes but aren't sure of the exact circumstances of their creation. One idea is that gamma-ray bursts are produced after a massive star explodes and leaves a black hole in its place. Another idea is that they're produced when two neutron stars collide to form a black hole. The appearance of a gamma-ray burst is unpredictable, but one appears about once per day. ESA / ECF

The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...
