# Synchrotron maser emission from shocks at large distances from the central engine.

Synchrotron maser emission from shocks at large distances from the central engine.

## Where it stands

**Disputed** One piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Large emitting regions; little or no polarisation-angle swing within a burst.

## What would rule it out

- Magnetospheric signatures in most well-measured bursts.
