Scientific paper

New synchrotron luminosity estimates are provided for the March 5, 1979 gamma-ray event, based on the lack of low-frequency self-absorption cutoff. This leads to distance limits much lower than 55 kpc for a neutron-star emission area even in the most conservative case. The source is likely Galactic. If in addition the thermal self-Compton interpretation is invoked for the hard tail above 300 keV in the burst spectrum, then the source distance lies in the range 0.1-2 kpc for extreme ranges of the neutron-star emission area. This result strongly impacts current observational programs for this source.
