TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported evidence for a very energetic supernova (a hypernova), temporally and spatially coincident with a gamma-ray burst at redshift z=0.1685.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that long-duration γ-ray bursts are associated with the most extremely massive stars and may be restricted to galaxies of limited chemical evolution. But they also show that the host galaxies of the long-drone bursts are significantly fainter and more irregular than the hosts of the core-collapse supernovae.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that GRB 090423 lies at a redshift of z approximate to 8.2, implying that massive stars were being produced and dying as GRBs similar to 630 Myr after the Big Bang.
