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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the afterglow of GRB 030323 was analyzed and the authors derived a conservative upper limit to the host-galaxy extinction: AV < 0.0005.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical afterglow (OA) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030429 was discovered and a comprehensive optical/near-infrared dataset was used to probe the matter at different distance scales, i.e. in the burst environment, in the host galaxy and in an intervening absorber.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the bump can be modeled with a SN having the same temporal profile as the other proposed hypernova SN2002ap, but 1.3 mag brighter at peak, and located at the GRB redshift.
