Just a decade ago, astronomers thought stellar core-collapse was primarily a spherical process. Gamma-ray bursts, with collimated jets (powered by a central engine) and at the same time a spherical explosion (supernova) have upset this paradigm. Empirically there appears to be a wide range in the energy of the explosion. This opens up the possibility that "jet-driven" explosions are common for all supernovae. Here we propose an in-depth study of the nearest gamma-ray bursts. Our synergistic multi-wavelength effort (radio, optical, Swift/XRT and proposed CXO) are designed to extract the true energy of these explosions.
