Scientific paper

The possibility of microsecond flares from cosmic gamma-ray sources is considered on the basis of theoretical models and available observations, with special attention given to the observation effects resulting from the flares. It is speculated that, if a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with microsecond flares is recorded by two detectors with different surface areas and/or dead times, the one which has the larger area and/or dead time should correspond to harder spectra of counts, because the larger number of photons would be measured as a unique multiphoton count. It is suggested that the evidence for microsecond flaring may be found by the comparison between spectra of different experiments.
