Scientific paper

The theory of optical flashes created by X- and γ-ray burst heating of stars in binaries is reviewed. Calculations of spectra due to steady-state X-ray reprocessing and estimates of the fundamental time scales for the non-steady case are discussed. The results are applied to the extant optical data from X-ray and γ-ray bursters. Finally, I review predictions of flashes from γ-ray bursters detectable by a state of the art all-sky optical monitor.
