4 Collapsar model We predict that all GRBs produced by the MacFadyen & Woosley 1999 collapsar model will also make supernovae like SN 1998bw

5 GRB : light curve bump Castro-Tirado & Gorosabel 1999; Bloom et al. 1999

6 SN 2003dh/GRB GRB was an unusual GRB: Low luminosity and no afterglow Planned discovery: a SN in a high luminosity, higher redshift, afterglow dominated GRB? Spectral evolution from afterglow power law to broad-lined Ic supernova like SN 1998bw Hjorth et al. 2003; Stanek et al. 2003
