High-energy photons from X-ray flares Burrows et al Falcone et al amplitude: ~500 times above the underlying afterglow GRB050502B X-ray flares occur inside the deceleration radius of the afterglow shock X-ray flares: late-time central engine activity
IC between X-ray flare photons and afterglow electrons (Wang, Li & Meszaros 2006) Cnetral engine X-ray flare photons Forward shock region Cartoon X-ray flare photons illuminate the afterglow shock electrons from inside also see Fan & Piran 2006: unseen UV photons
IC GeV flare fluence-An estimate So most energy of the newly shock electrons will be lost into IC emission X-ray flare peak energy
Temporal behavior of the IC emission Not exactly correlated with the X-ray flare light curves. IC emission will be lengthened by the afterglow shock angular spreading time and the anisotropic IC effect Self-IC of flares, peak at lower energies Wang, Li & Meszaros 2006 In external shock model for x-ray flares
