There is no specific explanation for this phenomena:
Some possible explanations are:
1.They are the result of colliding neutron stars that have blown up as supernovae.
2.They are the result of a merging between a neutron star and a black hole or between two black holes
3.Gamma-ray bursts occur as the result of material shooting towards Earth at almost the speed of light as the result of a hypernova.
One of the greatest difficulties in finding gamma ray bursts is that they are so short-lived. Once a burst is detected, it takes too long to rotate a satellite to face the burst and collect data.
