Despite that gamma-ray bursts is a phenomenon quite different from accreting compact objects, it could be that their hard X-ray emission is associated with a very similar mechanism of energy dissipation. In both cases, we could deal with reconnection of a turbulent magnetic field with intensive e+e- pair production and quasi-thermal Comptonization.
