abstract
A preponderance of evidence links long-duration, soft-spectrum gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the death of massive stars. The observations of the GRB-supernova (SN) connection present the most direct evidence of this physical link. We summarize 30 GRB-SN associations and focus on five ironclad cases, highlighting the subsequent insight into the progenitors enabled by detailed observations. We also address the SN association (or lack thereof) with several sub-classes of GRBs, finding that the X-ray Flash (XRF) population is likely associated with massive stellar death whereas short-duration events likely arise from an older population not readily capable of producing a SN concurrent with a GRB. Interestingly, a minority population of seemingly long-duration, soft-spectrum GRBs show no evidence for SN-like activity; this may be a natural consequence of the range of Ni-56 production expected in stellar deaths.

Off-axis cocoon emission from long GRB jets produces fast X-ray transients with luminosities of 10^47-48 erg/s, durations of 10-100 s, and soft quasi-thermal spectra peaking near 0.8 keV.
The paper identifies supernova emission matching a scaled SN 1998bw template in the late-time light curve of EP250302a at z=1.131, with early data constraining the jet Lorentz factor above 25.
Detailed photometric, spectroscopic, and modeling study of a low-redshift GRB-SN yielding nickel mass 0.4-0.5 solar masses, ejected mass 4-6 solar masses, and evidence for large-offset explosion in sub-solar metallicity gas.
No coincident GW signals found with long GRBs in O3 run; luminosity distance limits set assuming binary merger powering.
The paper reviews dust production, destruction and growth processes in galaxies, compiles literature data on comoving dust mass density, presents evidence for and against interstellar dust growth, and identifies the high-redshift dust budget as needing further study.
