Early TeV Photons of GRB 221009A Were Absorbed by the Prompt MeV Photons
GRB 221009A produced the highest flux of gigaelectronvolt–teraelectronvolt (GeV–TeV) photons ever observed, allowing the construction of a detailed TeV light curve. We focus on explaining the noticeable dip in the light curve around 2–5 s after the onset of TeV emission. We propose that megaelectron...
