Scientific paper

I review the observational status of the Supernova/Gamma-Ray Burst connection. Optical follow-up of the long-duration Gamma-ray bursts suggest that a fraction of them (but not all!) are associated with bright SNe of type Ib/c. Current SN and GRB rates yield a ratio GRB/SNe-Ibc ~ 0.4% - 3%. An analysis of the association GRB 060218/SN 2006aj finds that the SN and the GRB are coeval events within ~ 0.1 days. Recent observations of GRB 060614 point out the existence of a new class of long-duration Gamma-ray Burst not accompanied by a bright supernova.
