As they travel through the gas of the host galaxy, some of the gamma-rays emitted in a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) may experience Compton scattering and reach an observer even if he is not located in the direction of the primary photon beam. Such a process will last until the GRB photons have left their host galaxy, and the ambient electron density beco…
