| Popis: | Long-duration GRB~200829A was detected by Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT/XRT, and then rapidly observed by other ground-based telescopes. It has a weak $\gamma$-ray emission in the very early phase and followed by a bright spiky $\gamma$-ray emission pulse. The radiation spectrum of the very early emission is best fitted by a power-law function with index $\sim -1.7$. However, the bright spiky $\gamma$-ray pulse, especially the time around the peak, exhibits a distinct two-component radiation spectra, i.e., Band function combined with a blackbody radiation spectrum. We infer the photospheric properties and reveal a medium magnetization at photospheric position by adopting the initial size of the outflow as $r_0=10^9$~cm. It implies that Band component in this pulse may be formed during the dissipation of magnetic field. The power-law radiation spectra found in the very early prompt emission may imply the external-shock origination of this phase. Then, we perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo method fitting on the light-curves of this burst, where the jet corresponding to the $\gamma$-ray pulses at around $20$~s is used to refresh the external-shock. It is shown that the light-curves of very early phase and X-ray afterglow after $40$~s, involving the X-ray bump at around $100$~s, can be well modelled in the external-shock scenario. For the obtained initial outflow, we estimate the minimum magnetization factor of the jet based on the fact that the photospheric emission of this jet is missed in the very early phase.
