| dc.description | Two independent indirect manifestations of Galactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are considered, whose importance for gamma-ray astronomy will depend on a still poorly known -- though astrophysically important -- parameter, namely the GRB repetition timescale in a Galaxy like ours. Both phenomena are expected to lead to observational constrains about this timescale. The first one relates to the Compton scattering of the GRB gamma-rays in the disk of the Galaxy, and the second one to the long-term annihilation pattern of positrons produced just ahead of the ultra-relativistic plasma, by photo-pair production. | |
