| contents | The TeV emission detected in just five gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is generally ascribed to the synchrotron emission or the synchrotron self-Compton process in the external forward shock. The brightest gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A, with an unprecedented detected high energy flux of TeV emission, poses a serious challenge to the above scenario. Different from previous works, we involve the long bursting behavior of GRB~221009A in modeling its external-shocks. The TeV emission together with the later multi-band afterglows of GRB 221009A are all successfully reproduced. It is firstly found that the TeV emission in the early phase is mainly from the co-effort of the external reverse and forward shocks, i.e., the inverse-Compton scattering of the synchrotron emission from the external reverse-shock by the electrons in the external forward-shock. This is owing to that the long bursting behavior leads to a long lasting of energy injection into the external shock and the corresponding reverse-shock. In the later phase, the TeV emission is dominated by the synchrotron self-Compton process in the external forward-shock, which is consistent with previous scenario. Our results indicate the vital role of the external reverse-shock in shaping the early TeV emission of GRBs. |
