Scientific paper

Recent long-wavelength observations of γ-ray burst sources are considered with the idea that γ-ray bursts originate near the surface of isolated neutron stars surrounded by cold, degenerate disks. The author proposes that these systems may result from dynamical mass transfer in close neutron star/white dwarf binaries whose progenitors are Be/X-ray sources. It is shown that the expected γ-ray burst source distribution is consistent with the observed angular distribution, but not with log N(>S)-log S which is probably deficient at small S. The predicted source density is in excellent agreement with that inferred on the basis of the disk reprocessing model for the optical flashes associated with some bursts.
