The origin of cosmic g-ray bursts is as mysterious today as it was when they werediscovered more than 25 years ago. Despite a wealth of new observational data obtainedwith the BATSE instrument on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, many ofthe fundamental questions remain unanswered. For instance, although BATSE hasprovided a tremendous statistical advantage (allowing the most accurate measurement ofthe spatial isotropy and inhomogeneity of burst sources), its limited ...
