Descripción
We present the results from a Hubble Space Telescope ACS study of the
supernovae (SNe) associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) 040924 (z=0.86)
and 041006 (z=0.71). We find evidence that both GRBs were associated
with an SN 1998bw-like supernova dimmed by ~1.5 and ~0.3 mag,
respectively, making GRB 040924 the faintest GRB-associated SN ever
detected. We study the luminosity dispersion in GRB/XRF-associated SNe
and compare to local Type Ibc SNe from the literature. We find
significant overlap between the two samples, suggesting that
GRB/XRF-associated SNe are not necessarily more luminous and do not
necessarily produce more 56Ni than local SNe. Based on the
current (limited) data sets, we find that the two samples may share a
similar 56Ni production mechanism.
