Scientific paper

Estimates of the number density of small bodies, either interstellar or in circumstellar Oortlike clouds are used here to predict the recurrence times of gamma-ray bursts from individual sources, on the assumption that they are produced from neutron star/comet encounters. It is found that 'classical' (nonrepeating) bursts may be accounted for by passages of interstellar small bodies through the magnetosphere, whereas the small number of repeating burst is consistent with the interaction of neutron stars with small bodies within Oortlike clouds.
