Over the six years since the discovery of the γ-ray burst GRB 980425, which was associated with the nearby (distance ∼40 Mpc) supernova 1998bw, astronomers have debated fiercely the nature of this event. Relative to bursts located at cosmological distance (redshift z ≈ 1), GRB 980425 was under-luminous in γ-rays by three orders of magnitude. Radio calorimetry showed that the explosion was sub-energetic by a factor of 10. Here we report observations of the radio and X-ray afterglow of the recent… Expand

The second closest gamma-ray burst: sub-luminous GRB 111005A with no supernova in a super-solar metallicity environment
We report the detection of the radio afterglow of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 111005A at 5-345 GHz, including the very long baseline interferometry observations with the positional error of 0.2 mas.… Expand
Simulating a faint gamma-ray burst population
There have now been three supernova-associated gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at redshift z < 0.17, namely 980425, 030329 and 031203, but the nearby and under-luminous GRBs 980425 and 031203 are distinctly… Expand
An apparently normal γ-ray burst with an unusually low luminosity
Much of the progress in understanding γ-ray bursts (GRBs) has come from studies of distant events (redshift z ≈ 1). In the brightest GRBs, the γ-rays are so highly collimated that the events can be… Expand
Could the GRB-supernovae GRB031203 and XRF060218 be cosmic twins?
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) / X-ray flash (XRF) events GRB031203, discovered by INTEGRAL, and XRF060218, discovered by Swift, represent two of only five GRB-SNe with optical spectroscopic confirmation… Expand
The low-luminosity tail of the GRB distribution: The case of GRB 980425
Context. The association of GRB 980425 with the nearby supernova SN 1998bw at $z = 0.0085$ implies the existence of a population of gamma-ray bursts with an isotropic-equivalent luminosity that is… Expand
XMM-Newton observation of a dust echo and X-ray flash in GRB 031203
Abstract We present XMM-Newton observations of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 031203, approximately 6 h after the initial burst detection by Integral. At z  = 0.105, GRB 031203 is one of the least… Expand
Gamma-ray Burst Cosmology
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous electromagnetic explosions in the Universe, which emit up to $8.8\times10^{54}$ erg isotropic equivalent energy in the hard X-ray band. The high… Expand
Massive star-formation rates of γ-ray burst host galaxies: An unobscured view in X-rays
The hard X-ray (2-10 keV) luminosity of a star-forming galaxy tracks its population of high mass X-ray binaries and is essentially unobscured. It is therefore a practically unbiased measure of… Expand
Afterglow observations of Fermi large area telescope Gamma-Ray Bursts and the emerging class of hyper-energetic events
We present broadband (radio, optical, and X-ray) light curves and spectra of the afterglows of four long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; GRBs 090323, 090328, 090902B, and 090926A) detected by the… Expand
The soft X-ray blast in the apparently subluminous GRB 031203
TLDR
The difference between the soft and hard X-ray spectra from XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL indicate that a second soft pulse probably occurred in this burst, as has been observed in other GRBs, notably GRB 050502B. Expand

The Nature of GRB 980425 and the Search for Off-Axis Gamma-Ray Burst Signatures in Nearby Type Ib/c Supernova Emission
The identification of Type Ib/c supernovae (SNe Ib/c) as gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitors is motivated by the association of GRB 980425 with SN 1998bw and of GRB 030329 with SN 2003dh. While the… Expand
An unusual supernova in the error box of the γ-ray burst of 25 April 1998

The J-Band Light Curve of SN 2003lw, Associated with GRB 031203
At z = 0.1055, the gamma-ray burst GRB 031203 is the second nearest GRB known. Using observations from the Very Large Array and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, we derive subarcsecond localizations of… Expand
An apparently normal gamma-ray burst with an unusually low luminosity.
TLDR
It is concluded that there does indeed exist a large population of under-energetic events, and this event--as well as the other nearby but somewhat controversial GRB 980425--is a clear outlier from the isotropic-energy/peak-energy relation and luminosity/spectral-lag relations that describe the majority of GRBs.

A common origin for cosmic explosions inferred from calorimetry of GRB030329
TLDR
Radio observations of GRB030329 indicate a common origin for cosmic explosions in which the energy in the highest-velocity ejecta is extremely variable, and the contribution of the γ-rays is energetically minor. Expand
Radio emission from the unusual supernova 1998bw and its association with the γ-ray burst of 25 April 1998
Data accumulated over the past year strongly favour the idea that γ-ray bursts lie at cosmological distances, although the nature of the power source remains unclear. Here we report radio… Expand
