Description:
The intrinsic luminosity, erg/s, in a gamma ray burst is calculated using two assumptions: first, the power is independent of the burst duration, and, second, the spatial distribution of the bursters is similar to the spatial distribution of the pulsars. It is found that the experimentally determined distribution of burst durations is significantly biased by the observational selection effects. It is shown that a typical luminosity of 5 x 10 to the 35th erg/s can adequately reproduce the burst (log N, log S) curve, an isotropic latitude distribution, and the experimentally determined distribution of durations.
