Scientific paper

The association of GRB 980425 with the nearby supernova SN 1998bw at z = 0.0085 implies the existence of a population of GRBs with an isotropic-equivalent luminosity which is about 104 times smaller than in classical cosmic GRBs. We investigate two scenarios to explain the peculiar properties of GRB 980425: a normal (intrinsically bright) GRB seen off-axis or an intrinsically weak GRB seen on-axis.
