Proposed gamma-ray bursters may originate at cosmological distances, implying significant astrophysical phenomena.

This research examines whether gamma-ray bursters occur at cosmological distances, similar to quasars.
Analyzed gamma-ray bursters with a proposed redshift of 1 or 2.
Proposed a model involving gravitational lensing to explain multiple images of bursts from B1900 + 14.
Calculated the energy output and relativistic effects of these bursts.
Gamma-ray bursters are theorized to release energy comparable to supernovae, approximately 10^51 ergs within 1 second.
Identical spectra from three bursts suggest they stem from a single gravitationally lensed event.
Observed time delays between the bursts are attributed to light travel time differences.

B. Paczyński (1986) studied this question.
