Description

Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic cosmic explosions in the Universe, covering a spectral domain from all the way radio to gamma-ray up to tens of GeV. Recently, the detection of very high energy emissions (z ~ 0.0785 to 1.1) associated with the afterglows of a few GRBs by HESS and MAGIC telescopes has provided new insights into the research area of these fascinating objects. This work presents a multi-wavelength analysis of the prompt emission and afterglow of the most distant VHE detected GRB 201216C. We also compared our results with a sample of known VHE detected GRBs and found that most of the results obtained from GRB 201216C are similar to the VHE detected GRB 180720B.
