Scientific paper

An electromagnetic origin of the TeV gamma-ray burst from SN 1987 A is proposed. The TeV gamma-rays result from inverse Compton scattering in the extreme Klein-Nishina limit of nuclear Co-56 gamma-ray lines and soft X-rays by monoenergetic TeV electrons. The model accounts for the observed time delay between the TeV burst and the peak X-ray intensity of about 3 days, and the different burst duration at TeV and X-ray energies.
