Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are bright flashes of gamma rays from extragalactic sources followed by fading afterglow emission, are associated with stellar core collapse events. We report the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays from the afterglow of GRB 190829A, between 4 and 56 hours after the trigger, using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). The low luminosity and redshift of GRB 190829A reduce both internal and external absorption, allowing determination of its intrinsic energy spectrum. Between energies of 0.18 and 3.3 tera–electron volts, this spectrum is described by a power law with photon index of 2.07 ± 0.09, similar to the x-ray spectrum. The x-ray and VHE gamma-ray light curves also show similar decay profiles. These similar characteristics in the x-ray and gamma-ray bands challenge GRB afterglow emission scenarios.

Bombardment of B10 with 1.4 Mev. deuterons has been found to produce gamma rays of energy 4.46 ±.04, 4.75 ±.03, 5.03 ±.09, 5.35 ±.05, 6.52 ±.04, 6.78 ±.07, 7.29 ±.04, 8.27 ±.09, and 8.87 ±.02 Mev., as measured with a three-crystal pair spectrometer. Tentative assignments to transitions in B11 and C11 agree well in most cases with the known energy level schemes. No gamma rays of very high energy were observed, even with a single-crystal spectrometer; consequently an upper limit of 10−31 cm.2 has been placed on the cross-section of B10(d, γ)C12 at 0.95 Mev. bombarding energy.
