  • Observations of the close gamma-ray burst GRB 060218 and its connection to supernova SN 2006aj reveal the break-out of a shock wave driven by a mildly relativistic shell into the dense wind surrounding the GRB progenitor. These observation catch a supernova in the act of exploding.

  • The bright, nearby γ-ray burst (GRB) 060614 does not fit in either of the two duration classes. Its ∼102-s duration groups it with long-duration GRBs, whereas its temporal lag and peak luminosity fall entirely within the short GRB subclass. This opens the door on a new GRB classification scheme that straddles both long and short bursts.

  • Long duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) release copious amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and provide a window into the process of black hole formation from the collapse of massive stars. Observations of the extraordinarily bright prompt optical and γ-ray emission of GRB 080319B shows that the prompt emission stems from a single physical region, implying an extremely relativistic outflow that propagates within the narrow inner core of a two-component jet.
