A novel explosive process is required for the gamma-ray burst GRB 060614
Article Abstract:
A study reports that the optical observations of GRB 060614 report rule out the presence of an associated supernova. It is seen that this suggests requiring a new explosive process, either a massive collapsar that power a gamma-ray bust without any associated supernova, or a new type of engine, as long-lived as the collapsar but without a massive star.

The sub-energetic gamma ray burst GRB 031203 as a cosmic analogue to the nearby GRB 980425
Article Abstract:
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 980425 was associated with the nearby supernova 1998bw about six years ago. Studying the afterglow shows that there is a large population of such sub-energetic events.
