Preliminary Program and Abstracts

3rd Huntsville Symposium on Gamma-Ray Bursts


Abstracts

Sessions for the Symposium are arranged by topic. The hypertext link for each topic leads to the list of abstracts for that session, with the abstracts for the oral presentations listed first, followed by those for the poster presentations. For each abstract, we list a code number, the author list, and the title of the abstract. Each code number is linked to the PostScript file for the abstract. The PostScript files use bitmap fonts, and therefore do not display well on a computer screen; you should print them on a laser printer.
