Progenitor of GRB Long GRB (T 90 >2s) Type II (Long soft GRB?) collapse of massive stars (e.g. Wolf ‐ Rayet star) galaxy disk (“high”/moderate density ambient medium) Short GRB (T 90 <2s) Type I GRB (Short hard GRB?) mergers (NS ‐ NS, BH ‐ NS) galaxy halo (low density ambient medium) The circumburst environment can shed some light on GRB’s origin

Synchrotron Self ‐ Compton component in High energy Afterglow (Dermer et al 2000, Zhang & Meszaros 2001, Zou et al. 2009, Wang et al. 2013, Fan et al .2013 and etc) Emax of synchrotron radiation is limited Synchrotron radiation can hardly produce >10 GeV (constrained by synchrotron cooling) photons after a few hundred seconds Synchrotron radiation can hardly produce >100 MeV photons after ~1000s (In the decaying micro ‐ turbulence magnetic field scenario) See Prof. Wang talk

Conclusion Considering the KN effect in X ‐ ray afterglow modeling enhances the obtained circumburst density The enhanced circumburst density potentially promises a SSC component from forward shock The extended high energy emissions (especially the >10 GeV photons) likely have a SSC origin Whether the SSC component shows up, and (if present) its temporal behavior can help us diagnose the circumburst environment. The presence of a SSC component in LAT ‐ detected GRB implies the density of circumburst environment is not low as indicated in previous studies. Thanks for you attention
