Abstract
Abstract Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most powerful explosive events in the universe. LHAASO recently observed the most luminous one: GRB 221009A, and unveiled its TeV light curve. The light curve exhibits a distinct jet break at around 670 seconds, enabling the derivation of the viewing angle based on the smoothness of the jet break. We constructed two models with or without considering the high-latitude radiation, where the viewing angle was treated as a free parameter, to fit the TeV light curve. We obtained the viewing angles being 9.4 × 10−4 radians and 5.9 × 10−3 radians, respectively. These values closely resemble an on-axis scenario, given the opening angle is 1.4 × 10−2 radians.
