A Broader Perspective on the GRB-SN Connection

Abstract

Over the last few years our understanding of local Type Ibc supernovae and their connection to long-duration gamma-ray bursts has been revolutionized. Recent discoveries have shown that the emerging picture for core-collapse explosions is one of diversity. Compiling data from our dedicated radio survey of SNe Ibc and our comprehensive HST survey of GRB-SNe together with ground-based follow-up campaigns, I review our current understanding of the GRB-SN connection. In particular, I compare local SNe Ibc with GRB-SNe based on the following criteria: (1) the distribution of optical peak magnitudes which serve as a proxy for the mass of 56Ni produced in the explosion, (2) radio luminosity at early time (few days to weeks) which provides a measure of the energy coupled to on-axis relativistic ejecta, and (3) radio luminosity at late time (several years) which constrains the emission from GRB jets initially directed away from our line-of-sight. By focusing on these three points, I will describe the complex picture of stellar death that is emerging.
