Abstract:

The papers deals with a model of origin of cosmic gamma-bursts (CGB) which appear at cosmological distances from the merging of two compact stars. The process of CGB degeneration is divided into three stages – formation of the initial state, hydrodynamic expansion and free runaway. Theory includes fundamental parameters – a star mass and electron mass. Quantitative predictions of a model agree with the observed characteristics of CGB.
