The recent advent of rapid and accurate localizations of long-duration gamma-ray bursts led to major advances: The discovery of afterglows led to the establishment of their cosmological distances from spectroscopic redshifts, and direct association with supernovae in some cases supports the collapsar scenario in which black holes form in massive and rapidly rotation stars. The study of their central engines and extreme relativistic outflows has invigorated this field, and satellites such as Hete-2 and Swift discover new aspects of long- (and short-) duration bursts at a very high rate. But perhaps the most exciting aspect of GRB astronomy is their potential use in observational cosmology. The link to massive stars provides a promising new tool to probe the cosmic star formation rate, cosmic chemical evolution, and the formation history of stellar mass black holes.
