2 Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs)
Definition: Bursts of gamma-rays from the universe. They are named by year-month-day: GRB090610 (the second one on the same day) GRB090610B Distribution : Isotropic on the sky. Duration: T= 10ms s. Distance: Cosmological distance (highest known z = 8.2). Isotropic energy: 10^50 – 10^54 erg.

3 Fireball Shock Model Ultra-relativistic expanding fireball-shock model synchrotron spectrum Shocks: sudden change in density, pressure that decelerates supersonic flow Particles are scattered back and forth across the shock, and gain energy

4 Do we need an extra component?
FERMI ERA FOR GRBs PROMT EMISSION: Energy range : 8 keV-300GeV Spectrum: Physics AFTERGLOW: High energy delayed component? Decay as a function of time and spectrum (First time with Fermi) Do we need an extra component? arXiv: v1

11 GRB090902B : GBM+LAT Bright GBM and LAT burst
LAT extended emission upto 1000s Time averaged spectral fit shown ( upto T0+65sec) GBM (4 detectors) and LAT data (8keV to 100GeV) using rmfit PL component in addition to Band Fn. required BB+PL (photosheric emission reported for this burst) is not a good fit for time averaged spectrum . Spectral Evolution of prompt emission Five time bins [0-5s, 5-12s, 12-20s,20-30s,30-65s] are determined to probe spectral evolution At early time (t< 6s) only Band component seen. At late time (t >30s) only PL component is present (LAT emission dominates) Intermediate:- Band in addn. to PL extending to lower and higher energies

12 LAT Extended Emission (up to 800s)
Bright Extended emission upto 800s (data until earth occultation) Extra-galactic isotropic background derived from likelihood analysis of 2 weeks of pre-burst data. LAT emission spectral index (time averaged) /- 0.07 LAT Lightcurve Averaged over 100MeV to 300GeV Max. Likelihood analysis for eight time intervals Flux increases and drops off as t^{-1.5} around 10days A spectral index change around the lightcurve turn over ?, Not siginificant enough

20 Time-resolved spectra--Changing
GRB C Time-resolved spectra--Changing Spectra are Changing Alpha seems consistent Epeak changes very little Beta changes a lot These results imply that the higher-energy emission changes larger steeply than the low-energy one.

21 LAT light curve & spectral index
GRB C Light curve With gtlike method The first four data seems from the background like the last one The others follow a power-law when we exclude two data. The onset of afterglow is about 6 sec. For spectral index changing 1.2

29 Conclusions: LAT emission started later in all burst in our sample. Band model represents most of the GRBs but in the Fermi ERA extra components can be determined by LAT! LAT upper limits can help to feel extra components in case of only GBM detection. High energy afterglows decay in time ( C)
