The Compton Edge results from these entitiesscattering off a scintillator during spectroscopy. An optical afterglow characterizes the aftermath ofthe emission of these entities, which may be caused by the collision of a neutron star and a black hole.The only periodic emission of this (*) radiation are from sources called its namesake "soft repeater." Thisregion of the spectrum is emitted during a namesake burst, which is the brightest known event in theuniverse. For 10 points, name this high energy region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is named after aGreek letter.
