The supernova–gamma-ray burst connection
SE Woosley, JS Bloom - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
Observations show that at least some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) happen simultaneously
with core-collapse supernovae (SNe), thus linking by a common thread nature's two …

The progenitor stars of gamma-ray bursts
SE Woosley, A Heger - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Those massive stars that give rise to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) during their deaths must be
endowed with an unusually large amount of angular momentum in their inner regions, 1-2 …

Long γ-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments
AS Fruchter, AJ Levan, L Strolger, PM Vreeswijk… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
When massive stars exhaust their fuel, they collapse and often produce the extraordinarily
bright explosions known as core-collapse supernovae. On occasion, this stellar collapse …

The Observer's Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection
We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts
(GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places …

No supernovae associated with two long-duration γ-ray bursts
It is now accepted that long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced during the collapse
of a massive star1, 2. The standard 'collapsar'model3 predicts that a broad-lined and …

The peculiar short-duration GRB 200826A and its supernova
A Rossi, B Rothberg, E Palazzi, DA Kann… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are classified into long and short events. Long GRBs (LGRBs)
are associated with the end states of very massive stars, while short GRBs (SGRBs) are …

The physics of core-collapse supernovae
S Woosley, T Janka - Nature Physics, 2005 - nature.com
Supernovae are nature's grandest explosions and an astrophysical laboratory in which
unique conditions exist that are not achievable on Earth. They are also the furnaces in which …

A novel explosive process is required for the γ-ray burst GRB 060614
Over the past decade, our physical understanding of γ-ray bursts (GRBs) has progressed
rapidly, thanks to the discovery and observation of their long-lived afterglow emission. Long …

The afterglows of Swift-era gamma-ray bursts. I. Comparing pre-Swift and Swift-era long/soft (type II) GRB optical afterglows
DA Kann, S Klose, B Zhang, D Malesani… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We have gathered optical photometry data from the literature on a large sample of Swift-era
gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows including GRBs up to 2009 September, for a total of 76 …
