Unraveling the Mystery of the Strangest and Brightest Cosmic Explosions
TL;DR Summary
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has recorded the entire process of a tera-electron volt gamma-ray burst (GRB) from the death of a massive star, named GRB 221009A. LHAASO's observations have provided a perfect database for precise tests of theoretical models. The rapid enhancement of photon flux at the beginning of the afterglow exceeds the expectations of previous theoretical models, leading to discussions within the scientific community regarding the mechanisms involved in GRBs. LHAASO's data-intensive observations at high-energy will reveal more mysteries.
