In the cosmological model for Gamma-Ray Bursts, energy production
in -region must be
enormously large, 1051 - 1053 ergs, during several seconds. Such
huge energy flux interacts with the matter in the parent galaxy
leading to its
heating and formation of counterparts in another spectral region. We
investigate results of this interaction without specifying the
mechanism of GRB formation.
The problem is examined by studying the response of interstellar medium with normal chemical composition on propagation through it of a short powerful gamma-ray pulse. Spherical symmetry was accepted; different densities of interstellar gas and burst energies were considered.
