Is it shown that for those astronomical models of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) which are associated with galactic neutron stars (NSs), the initial energy of the outburst could be converted to gamma-rays through processes of particle acceleration. The main emission mechanisms are considered for two basic alternatives, when particles are accelerated either by radiative pressure or by an electric field.

Subject headings: acceleration of particles — gamma rays: bursts — radiation mechanisms: nonthermal
