Standard GRB, Dirty Fireballs, and the Excluded Middle

Published 3 Feb 2011 in astro-ph.HE | (1102.0783v1)

Abstract: It is shown that the contribution of faint gamma-ray bursts (GRB) to the total allsky GRB energy flux is small. The allsky flux of GRB appears to be 5.3×10<sup>−35.3 \times 10<sup>{-3} erg/cm<sup>2</sup>y\rm cm<sup>2</sup> y, with little additional component hidden within weak or otherwise undetectable GRB. This significantly constrains physical models of GRB and dirty fireballs, suggesting a rather sharp dichotomy between them should the latter exist.
