The Supernova Gamma-Ray Burst Connection
S. E. Woosley,Joshua S. Bloom +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that most long-duration soft-spectrum gamma-ray bursts are accompanied by massive stellar explosions (GRB-SNe) and that most of the energy in the explosion is contained in nonrelativistic ejecta (producing the supernova) rather than in the relativistic jets responsible for making the burst and its afterglow.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive sample of all gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows with known distances is presented, and their conical opening angles are derived based on observed broadband breaks in their light curves.
