Low-resolution Spectroscopy of Gamma-ray Burst Optical Afterglows: Biases in the Swift Sample and Characterization of the Absorbers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a sample of 77 optical afterglows (OAs) of Swift detected gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which spectroscopic follow-up observations have been secured.
Journal ArticleDOI

No supernovae from two nearby long gamma ray bursts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present observations of two nearby long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that challenge this simple view, and demonstrate that no SN emission accompanied these longduration bursts, down to limits hundreds of times fainter than the archetypal SN 1998bw that accompanied GRB 980425, and faintter than any Type Ic SN ever observed.

The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-ray Bursts. I. Comparing pre-Swift and Swift-era Long/Soft (Type II) GRB Optical Afterglows

David Alexander Kann, +83 more
TL;DR: The first indications of a class of long GRBs are presented, which form a bridge between the typical high-luminosity, high-redshift events and nearby low- luminosity events (which are also associated with spectroscopic supernovae) in terms of energetics and observed redshift distribution, indicating a continuous distribution overall.
