Scientific paper

The type Ibc SN 1998bw provides a link between GRBs and supernovae. Like GRBs, it had relativistic ejecta (as inferred from the brilliant radio emission and early non-thermal X-ray emission) but with lower Lorentz factor. Ordinary SNe do not show bright radio emission at early times and theoretically appear unable to produce significant relativistic ejecta. Thus it is generally assumed that SN 1998bw harbored a central engine. For the past four years, we have been searching for other such engine-driven SNe and have recently reported bright emission from the type Ic SN2003L. With a radio luminosity that is currently 1.9E+28 erg/s/Hz (15% of SN1998bw at peak) and rising, this event is very similar to SN1998bw. A detection of non-thermal X-ray emission (synchrotron or inverse-Compton) would confirm the inference of relativistic ejecta and mark SN 2003L as another link between GRBs and SNe. A 30 ks observation will allow a rough determination of the spectrum.
