Scientific paper

The Interplanetary Network of GRB detectors has been detecting about 200 bursts/year since 1991. It has roughly isotropic response and close to 100% duty cycle for the more intense events. The IPN is therefore an ideal complement to missions and experiments such as BATSE, HETE, BeppoSAX, INTEGRAL, and Swift, which have restricted sky coverage. It can therefore be used to search efficiently for GRBs that are coincident in time and space with supernovae which are thought to be hypernovae. For several years, we have been performing this search, and have now looked at several dozen supernovae. I will discuss the results to date.
