Is there a unifying scheme for SNe and GRBs?
Four clear cases of SN-GRB association have been detected spectroscopically, all are Type Ic SNe. In all of these, the SN is very powerful (high luminosity, large kinetic energy), i.e. it is a “Hypernova” (Paczynski 1998; Iwamoto et al. 1998)
The rate of GRBs (taking into account collimation) corresponds to the relative rate of hypernovae with respect to the total number of Ic SNe (i.e. ~5%, Podsiadlowski et al. 2004)
SNe with hypernova characteristics have been detected, although they are not accompanied by a GRB (SNe 1997dq, 1997ef, 2002ap, 2004aw…); see also IPN survey
Do all hypernovae have jets and produce GRBs, so that only those aligned with the line of sight are detected?
Can we test this “unified scenario”?

Signatures of asphericity in SN1998bw
• In nebular spectra of SN1998bw, Fe lines are broader than O lines
• A spherically symmetric explosion of a massive star would result in the opposite

The bright Type Ic SN 2003jd
• SN 2003jd was as bright at peak as SN1998bw (Mv = -18.7)
• Early-time spectra had broad lines, similar to hypernova SN2002ap
• No GRB or XRF

ConclusionsThe nebular spectrum of the Type Ic energetic SN2003jd is differentfrom that of SN1998bw: it exhibits a double-peaked [O I] emission line,which suggests an aspherical geometry and an equatorial view. This is consistent with the lack of a detected GRB, and could support a unified scenario for SNe and GRBs
Are hypernovae the most aspherical SNe? Possibly, and this would be related to the presence of GRBs
In this picture, X-ray flashes may be off-axis GRBs or weaker explosions
Short GRBs have afterglows similar to those of long GRBs. They arePreferentially detected at lower redshifts, and in galaxies with scarceStar formation. The evidence that they are not associated with supernovaeis increasing. They are probably double neutron star mergers
Are hypernovae the only aspherical SNe Ic? No, normal Ic are polarized
Optical flashes probe the early emission mechanisms and circumburst medium
