Abstract

We present the results of our analysis of multiwavelength observations for the long gamma-ray burst GRB 200829A. The burst redshift z1.29±0.04z \approx 1.29 \pm 0.04 has been determined photometrically at the afterglow phase. In gamma rays the event is one of the brightest (in isotropic equivalent), Eiso1054E_{iso} \gtrsim 10^{54} erg. The multicolor light curve of the GRB 200829A afterglow is characterized by chromatic behavior and the presence of a plateau gradually transitioning into a power-law decay that can also be interpreted as a quasi-synchronous inhomogeneity (flare). We assume that the presence of a chromatic inhomogeneity in the early afterglow is consistent with the model of a structured jet.
