A few long Gamma-Ray Bursts and X-ray Flashes at redshift lower than ~0.3 are firmly associated with well studied core-collapse stripped-envelope Supernovae with broad spectral lines and high kinetic energies. A number of higher redshift GRBs are also accompanied by Supernovae that have properties consistent with those of energetic core-collapse SNe. This suggests that the majority of long...

The character of the prompt emission, of the afterglow, the presence of an associated supernova (SN), and the environment, all characterize and constrain the possible central engine of Long and Short Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). However, despite the observed variety, there is little diversity among models for the central engine and essentially all can be simply classified as a rotating compact...
