Abstract
The time delayed electromagnetic cascade "echo" model is applied to the gamma-ray burst GRB190114C, the first one observed simultaneously in high- and very high-energy gamma-ray bands. It is shown that even without intervening magnetic fields, the intrinsic cascade spread stretches the "echo" emission over a time span of $10^3-10^5$ seconds, depending on the energy. Considering the measured source flux in the $0.3-1$ TeV gamma-ray range, the predicted "echo" flux matches the lower-energy gamma-ray emission detected $10^4$ seconds after the burst. However, within the measurement uncertainties, the "echo" emission remain indistinguishable from the intrinsic gamma-ray burst flux. Implications of these findings for intergalactic magnetic fields measurements with GRB190114C are discussed.
