    50 Based on the model in~\cite{DERISHEV}, three different components of VHE emission exists in an GRB. This components are illustrated in figure~\ref{fig:timeline}. (a) There is the prompt 100\,GeV peak before and during the first keV-MeV peak, (b) the VHE emission due to inverse Compton scattering lasting for the whole duration of the GRB pulse and (c) the reprocessed inverse Compton emission which may last up to hours after the GRB onset.

    64 When the magnetic field is much stronger than $B_{min}$, the delay of reprocessed photons may become observable. For this perpendicular case it can be calculated via the following asymptotic expression:

    71 For typical values of the absorption threshold $\epsilon_{2ph}=1\,TeV$, duration time of GRB main pulse $t_{GRB}=10^{2}\,s$ and Lorentz factor of the GRB shell $\Gamma=10^{2}$, the duration of delayed VHE emission will be 0.8 hours for the component of magnetic field perpendicular to electron's trajectory $B_{\perp}=0.1\,Gauss$, 3.6 hours for $B_{\perp}=1.0\,Gauss$ and 17.3 hours for $B_{\perp}=10\,Gauss$.\\

    75 It is not easy to fix a reasonable observation time of a GRB based on the described models. Every bust has its own characteristic and time profile. Hovewer, obseration of the GRB coordinates for/within 5 hours after the alert may put constraints on model parameters of GRB sources.\\
