Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have a tera-electron volt (TeV) afterglow, but the early onset of this has not been observed. We report observations with Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) bright GRB 221009A, which serendipitously occurred within instrument's field view. More than 64,000 photons >0.2 TeV were detected first 3000 seconds. The flux began several minutes after trigger and then rose to peak ~10 seconds later. This was followed by decay phase, became more rapid ~650...

Recently, the LHAASO Collaboration published detection of 12 ultrahigh-energy γ-ray sources above 100 TeV, with highest energy photon reaching 1.4 PeV. The first PeV γ rays from astrophysical may provide a very sensitive probe effect Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), which results in decay high-energy superluminal scenario and hence sharp cutoff spectrum. Two are studied this work. No signature existence LIV is found their spectra, lower limits on scale derived. Our show that first-order...
