Scientific paper

We investigate the observability of the indirect light of GRBs resulting from the Compton scattering of the (primary) γ -rays in the ISM. We find that the Compton trail of a GRB with an energy of 1051 erg can easily be observed from Earth, wherever the explosion occurred in our Galaxy in the past few thousand years. We also calculate the light curve and the shape of the emitting region as a function of time.
