Scientific paper

The first 1005 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by BATSE have no significant dipole nor quadrupole moment and a marked deficiency of faint bursts. The deficiency of faint bursts indicates that BATSE is observing the edge of the GRB distribution while the lack of a dipole moment implies that the earth has at most a small offset from the center of the distribution. Possible distributions are sources located at cosmological distances or in a very extended Galactic halo. We use the observational limits on the dipole and quadrupole moments to place limits on simple halo models and to quantitatively test published high-velocity neutron star (HVNS) halo models.
