Description

Recent observations suggest that some types of GRB are physically connected with SNe of type Ib/c. However, it has been pointed out by several authors that some GRBs could be associated also with other types of core-collapse SNe (type Ildw/IIn). On the basis of a comprehensive statistical study, which has made use of the BATSE and Asiago catalogues, we have found that: i) the temporal and spatial distribution of SNe-Ib/c is marginally correlated with that of the BATSE GRBs; ii) we do not confirm the existence of an association between GRBs and SNe-IIdw/IIn
