The Milagrito collaboration recently reported evidence for emission of very high energy gamma-rays in the TeV range from one of the BATSE GRBs, GRB 970417a. Here I discuss possible interpretations of this result. Taking into account the…
The detection of the 100 GeV-TeV emission by a gamma-ray burst (GRB) will provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the nature of the central engine and the interaction between the relativistic flow and the environment of the burst's…
Multiwavelength observation of the gamma-ray burst, GRB 190114C, opens a new window for studying the emission mechanism of GRB afterglows. Its Very-High-Energy (VHE; $\gtrsim 100$ GeV) detection has motivated an inverse Compton…
The nature of the shallow decay phase in the X-ray afterglow of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) is not yet clarified. We analyze the data of early X-ray afterglows of 26 GRBs triggered by Burst Alert Telescope onboard Neil Gehrels Swift…
The gamma-rays from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to be produced by internal shocks driven by small timescale, ~1 ms, variation in the GRB outflows, and a pair-production spectral cutoff is generally expected around the GeV range.…
The recent detection of gamma-ray burst GRB~221009A has attracted attention due to its record brightness and first-ever detection of $\gtrsim 10$ TeV $\gamma$ rays from a GRB. Despite being the second-nearest GRB ever detected, at a…
We study regenerated high-energy emission from the gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, and compare its flux with the direct component from the same afterglow. When the intrinsic emission spectrum extends to TeV region, these very high-energy…
The origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) remains elusive. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the best candidates able to meet the stringent energy requirements needed for particle acceleration to such high energies. If UHECRs…
The first limits on the prompt emission from the long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A in the $>100\nobreakspace\rm{GeV}$ energy band are reported. GRB 130427A was the most powerful burst ever detected with a redshift $z\lesssim0.5$ and…
GRBs generate an afterglow emission that can be detected from radio to X-rays during days, or even weeks after the initial explosion. The peak of this emission crosses the mm/submm range during the first hours to days, making their study in…
The window of TeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics was opened less than two decades ago, when the Crab Nebula was detected for the first time. After several years of development, the technique used by imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes like…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions in the universe and probe physics under extreme conditions. GRBs divide into two classes, of short and long duration, thought to originate from different types of progenitor systems.…
After more than 40 years from their discovery, the long-lasting tension between predictions and observations of GRBs prompt emission spectra starts to be solved. We found that the observed spectra can be produced by the synchrotron process,…
Observing early optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) contemporaneous with the MeV prompt emission phase remains rare, requiring rapid-response robotic facilities. The Ond\v{r}ejov D50 telescope detected the optical counterpart of…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows have been proposed as an excellent probe to study the evolution of cosmic star formation, the reionization of the intergalactic medium, and the metal enrichment history of the universe, since the…
We investigate hypernova (hyper-energetic supernova) and gamma-ray burst (GRB) remnants in our Galaxy as TeV gamma-ray sources, particularly in the role of potential TeV unidentified sources, which have no clear counterpart at other…
Very-high-energy (VHE; >~100 GeV) gamma-rays are expected from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in some scenarios. Exploring this photon energy regime is necessary for understanding the energetics and properties of GRBs. GRBs have been one of the…
Gamma-ray bursts produce afterglows that can be observed across the electromagnetic spectrum and can provide insight into the nature of their progenitors. While most telescopes that observe afterglows are designed to rapidly react to…
GRB 190114C was a bright burst that occurred in the local Universe (z=0.425). It was the first gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever detected at TeV energies, thanks to MAGIC. We characterize the ambient medium properties of the host galaxy through…
The synchrotron optical flash caught in GRB 990123 overlaps with the MeV radiation front, and the optical-emitting electrons must also produce GeV-TeV emission by inverse Compton scattering of MeV photons. The ultra-high-energy flash can be…
