GRB100116A was detected by both the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) onboard the Fermi telescope. The GBM lightcurve showed two peaks, a small initial peak at 21:32:36.00 (UT) and a second, stronger peak about 70 seconds later; the LAT detection was coincident with the second peak. Thus, this burst had a very long lag between the LAT (>100 MeV) emission and the GBM trigger--the longest to date. Detailed spectral analysis along with simulations have shown that GBM emission is best fit by an exponentially cut-off power law making the extrapolation of this emission to LAT energies unlikely. Therefore, the observed excess in the LAT was somewhat surprising. We present a spectral and temporal study of the prompt and afterglow emission from 8 keV to 200 GeV.
