TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report optical observations of GRB 060614 (duration ~100 s) that rule out the presence of an associated supernova, and also show that the properties of the host galaxy (redshift z = 0.125) distinguish it from other long-duration GRB hosts and suggest that an entirely new type of long-lived GRB progenitor may be required.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss possible mechanisms and their feasibility for explaining the apparent lack of early optical emission, including foreground extinction, circumburst absorption, Lyα blanketing and absorption due to high redshift, low density environments, rapid temporal decay, and intrinsic weakness of the reverse shock.
