Scientific paper

Thermal radiation in the prompt emission from gamma-ray bursts has been suggested by several authors. Indeed, observational data from BATSE on-board CGRO can be interpreted as containing a photospheric component in the sub-MeV range, that varies in strength within and between bursts, explaining the hardness of the sub-peak spectra. GLAST will, by including the energies in the MeV-GeV domain, give us the possibility to determine whether a thermal, photospheric component is the determining feature of the spectrum in the sub-MeV range.
