Delayed External Shock scenario: thick shell fireballs as a possible explanation for X-ray flares Δ=cteng, thus teng >tdec. Most of the energy is transferred to the surrounding material around the end of the engine activity. Afterglow decay described by a power law only if the time is measured from the instant of the central engine turns off (Lazzati & Begelman, 2005). The flare is produced by an external shock caused by an energy injection lasting until the time of the flare occurrence, i. e. requires long lasting central engine activity A. Galli-ASDC, 3 July 2007

Conclusion ü GLAST LAT – and for nearest bursts also AGILE, will be able to detect IC emission from the afterglow of Gamma. Ray Bursts; ü Both in the framework of the internal shocks scenario and in that of the external shocks late X-ray flares are related to a long lasting central engine activity; ü X-ray flares can be attended by Ge. V flares produced by IC, that could be detected by GLAST; ü IC emission from afterglow can explain also the delayed high energy emission detected by EGRET in GRB 940217; ü We expect similar temporal profiles for X-ray and high energy flares in the context of External Shock.
