Xiang-Yu Wang TeVPA08 Two basic processes for high-energy gamma-ray emission 1. Leptonic inverse-Compton scattering 2. Hadronic processes: 1)proton synchrotron; 2) p-γneutral pion decay; 3)secondary electrons synchrotron & IC Prompt phase Internal shock, leptonic: electron synchrotron & SSC Internal shock, hadronic: proton synchrotron & p-γ interaction Early afterglow phase External, leptonic: forward, reverse and cross shock SSC External, hadronic: proton synchrotron & p-γ interaction

22
Xiang-Yu Wang TeVPA08 ~30%-50% early afterglow have x-ray flares, Swift discovery Flare light curves: rapid rise and decay <<1 Afterglow decay consistent with a single power-law before and after the flare (1) High-energy photons from X-ray flares Burrows et al. 2005 Falcone et al. 2006 amplitude: ~500 times above the underlying afterglow GRB050502B X-ray flares occur inside the deceleration radius of the afterglow shock X-ray flares: late-time central engine activity
23
Xiang-Yu Wang TeVPA08 IC between X-ray flare photons and afterglow electrons (Wang, Li & Meszaros 2006) Cnetral engine X-ray flare photons Forward shock region Cartoon X-ray flare photons illuminate the afterglow shock electrons from inside also see Fan & Piran 2006: unseen UV photons

25
Xiang-Yu Wang TeVPA08 Temporal behavior of the IC emission Not exactly correlated with the X-ray flare light curves. IC emission will be lengthened by the afterglow shock angular spreading time and the anisotropic IC effect Self-IC of flares, peak at lower energies Wang, Li & Meszaros 2006 In external shock model for x-ray flares

39
Xiang-Yu Wang TeVPA08 Summary Leptonic vs. Hadronic Leptonic component dominate at GeV-TeV for typical parameters Only for very inefficient bursts (may be diagnosed by coordinated GLAST/Swift observations), would one expects a significant hadronic contribution in the high energy spectrum Prompt emission: SSC or double synchrotron model fro prompt optical and MeV emission Forward shock SSC would give extended GeV-TeV emission Fluence peaks at hours GeV-TeV flares will accompany X-ray flares Broader Delayed in time Low-luminosity GRB afterglow Detectable at 30MeV-10 GeV at the peak time for e_e>0.1 Can be used to distinguish high \Gamma or low \Gamma with GLAST observations of the light curves
