Bohdan's Impact on Our Understanding of Gamma-ray Bursts
arXiv:0804.2074
Abstract
Bohdan Paczy'nski was one of the pioneers of the cosmological GRB model. His ideas on how GRBs operate and what are their progenitors have dominated the field of GRBs in the hectic nineties during which the distances and the origin of GRBs were revealed. I discuss here Bohdan's contributions in some historical perspective.
