The supernova associated with GRB 020405
نویسنده
چکیده
We used the very simple and successful Cannonball (CB) model of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows (AGs) to analyze the observations of the mildly extinct optical AG of the relatively nearby GRB 020405, first made with ground-based telescopes, and with the HST at later times. We show that GRB 020405 was associated with a 1998bw-like supernova (SN) at the GRB’s redshift which appeared dimmer and red relative to SN1998bw because of extinction in the host and our Galaxy. The case for the SN/GRB association —advocated in the CB model— is becoming indubitable.

A Systematic Search for Supernova Light in Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows
We systematically reanalyzed all Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow data published through the end of 2001, in an attempt to detect the predicted supernova light component. We fit the observed photometric light curves as the sum of an afterglow, an underlying host galaxy, and a supernova component. The latter is modelled using published UBV RI light curves of SN 1998bw as a template. The total sam...
متن کاملThe Diversity of Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows and the Surroundings of Massive Stars
The finding of a Type Ic supernova connected with GRB 030329 showed a massive star origin for this burst, supporting evidence for this association in previous bursts with lightcurve bumps at the appropriate time for a supernova. Here, we explore the possibility that all long bursts have massive star progenitors, interacting with either the freely expanding wind of the progenitor or the shocked ...

We present high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of GRB 020405 obtained with the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (LETGS) on board the Chan-dra X-ray Observatory starting 1.68 days after the burst. The spectrum appears featureless, with no evidence for emission lines, absorption edges, or narrow ra-diative recombination continua. The continuum can be fitted by a power law of photon ind...
متن کاملInduction of supernova - like explosions by γ - ray bursts in close binary systems
We propose that a γ-ray burst in one member of a binary may induce a supernova-like explosion of a close, white-dwarf companion. Such explosion might be brought about in rather light companions, which cannot undergo the standard accretion-induced explosion. This would give some GRB-associated supernova an appearance rather unlike that of the typical Type I. GRB 980425, if indeed associated with...
متن کاملSupernova and GRB connection: Observations and Questions
We review the observational status of the supernova/gamma-ray burst connection. Present data suggest that SNe associated with GRBs form a heterogeneous class of objects including both bright and faint hypernovae and perhaps also ‘standard’ Ib/c events. Evidence for association with other types of core-collapse SNe (e.g. IIn) is much weaker. After combining the local GRB rate with the local SN-I...
