Abstract

This study investigates the environments and characteristics of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) exhibiting very high energy (VHE) emission. Recent detections of VHE emission, up to TeV energies, challenge synchrotron-only emission models and particle acceleration concepts in GRBs. Until now, only a handful of GRBs have been detected in the VHE range. We compare the number densities of the circumburst medium of VHE-detected GRBs to check if the environment impacts the VHE emission. This shows that these GRBs have environments similar to the larger population of GRBs. We employ machine learning algorithms to create two-dimensional embeddings of GRB prompt emission light curves from the Swift-BAT catalog. VHE-detected GRBs are located across the map, indicating that VHE emission does not favour any particular cluster. These findings indicate that VHE-detected GRBs do not show any peculiar characteristics other than the observational detection of VHE photons. Future detections will increase the sample size required for a rigorous understanding of the origin of VHE emission in GRBs.
