Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts in Halo Neutron Star-Comet Models
M. G. Higgins, R. N. Henriksen
Abstract
The motions of comets and neutron stars have been integrated over five billion years in the Galactic potential to determine a gamma-ray burst distribution, presuming that bursts are the result of interactions between these two families of objects. The comets originate in two distinct populations - one from ejection by stars in the Galactic disk, and the other from ejection by stars in globular clusters. No choice of the free parameters resulted in agreement with both the isotropy data and the (N>F) - (F) data.
