Gamma Rays: Bursts, Galaxy: Halo, Galaxies: M 31
Scientific paper
If the classical gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have their origin in an extended Galactic halo, then an analogous population of bursters is expected to exist in similar spiral galaxies like our own, in particular in the Andromeda galaxy. Motivated by the reported non-detection of an excess in the number of GRBs seen by BATSE toward M 31 (Fishman 1994), we speculate about an alternative way to detect a possible GRB source population located in the halo of M 31 with the final aim to check the Galactic halo model of GRBs. Having in mind the INTEGRAL mission (Smith et al. 1994), we investigate what is expected to be observable from such a hypothetical population of bursters in the halo of M 31 with respect to their optical flashes which are possibly in general accompanying GRBs as suggested in the literature.
