It is proposed that gamma-ray bursters may strongly emit 0.05-1 keV XUV radiation simultaneously with the gamma rays, in the form of two narrow spectral lines corresponding to the omega(e) and two times omega(e) plasma radiation, where omega(e) is the electron plasma frequency of the gamma-emitting (and pair annihilation) region of the burster. As estimates based on observed annihilation line intensities and other theoretical arguments typically give n(e) greater than about 10 to the 24th-26th/cu cm, h x omega(e) is greater than about 37-373 eV in the XUV range. Such radiation, if it is detected and its frequency accurately measured with high time resolution, could be a valuable diagnostic tool for the emission region. Failure to detect the radiation would put strong constraints on the gamma-emission models.
