Scientific paper

The X-ray detactability is considered with respect to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from M31. If M31 is similar to the Galaxy in all its GRB respects and the typical ratio of peak X-ray to gamma-ray flux is near 2 percent, a few days dedicated to monitoring of M31 with the Rosat PSPC can settle the GRB luminosity and distance issue, or at least tightly constrain it. Such a search may start at a level of 6 Rosat counts above background for flashes lasting longer than 30 s and proceed to lower levels if the initial result is negative and if the background level permits.
