We study GRB 221009A, the brightest gamma-ray burst in the history of observations, using Fermi data. To calibrate them for large inclination angles, we use the Vela X gamma-ray source. Light curves in different spectral ranges demonstrate a 300 s overlap of afterglow and delayed episodes of soft prompt emission. We demonstrate that a relatively weak burst precursor that occurs 3 minutes before the main episode has its own afterglow, i.e., presumably, its own external shock. The main afterglow is the brightest one, includes a photon with an energy of 400 GeV 9 hours after the burst, and is visible in the LAT data for up to two days.

  1. Carpet-3 detection of a photon-like air shower with estimated primary energy above 100 TeV in a spatial and temporal coincidence with GRB 221009A

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Carpet-3 reports a photon-like air shower with estimated energy around 300 TeV arriving from the direction of GRB 221009A about 75 minutes after the trigger, with a coincidence probability of about 0.9 percent.
