Abstract
Several thousands of gamma-ray bursts were observed by various experiments. During several GRBs very high-energy photons were detected both in space and ground-based experiments (up to some tens of GeV and up to some TeV, respectively). Usually 2 classes of bursts are considered: short and long GRBs separated by t90~2s. Because of several hundreds of GRBs located at high redshift, its sources’ origins nature concluding as cosmological. Therefore correction to cosmological dilation of GRBs t90 should be considered during any analysis of bursts duration. Firstly very high-energy component was observed during GRB 970417a: 18 photons with energy ~650 GeV were registered by Milagrito within t90 interval of this burst. Now several tens of GRBs reveal activity in energy bands up to some tens of GeV and up to some TeV accordingly data of space and ground-based experiments correspondingly. Unfortunately redshift is unknown approximately for half of GRBs with high energy component presence. Here we introduce new parameter Rt is ratio of maximum energy photon arrival time to burst duration and it not required cosmological correction. At least 2 groups of long GRBs could be separated using parameter Rt: for 25% events highest energy gammas detected within t 90 interval, but for other 75% of bursts it registered more than 10 sec. later than one. Moreover, preliminary results of analysis allow concluding 2 subtypes of second group GRBs. For one μ-quantum with maximum energy arrived within t90. For other such photon was registered later than t90. Therefore, the results of preliminary analyses allow conclude long GRBs population inhomogeneity.
