High-Energy GRBs - Lessons Learned from the Fermi Mission and TeV Observations

Explore the high-energy aspects of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) through insights gained from the Fermi mission and TeV observations in this comprehensive lecture from the CLAF/ICTP-SAIFR Latin-American Astroparticle Physics School. Learn about the most energetic electromagnetic phenomena in the universe as Elisabetta Bissaldi from INFN and University of Bari, Italy, presents key findings and lessons learned from over a decade of Fermi satellite observations. Discover how TeV (teraelectronvolt) observations have revolutionized our understanding of GRB physics, including their emission mechanisms, energy spectra, and temporal evolution. Examine the multi-wavelength approach to studying these cosmic explosions and understand how high-energy observations complement traditional gamma-ray studies. Gain insights into the latest developments in GRB research, including the detection of very high-energy photons and their implications for fundamental physics and cosmology. This lecture provides essential knowledge for students and researchers interested in astroparticle physics, high-energy astrophysics, and the study of extreme cosmic phenomena.
