Summary and open problems All long GRBs and XRFs at z < 0.3 (with 2 exceptions) are associated with energetic spectroscopically identified Type Ic Sne. However, most broad-lined energetic Ic SNe are not associated with GRBs. SNe associated with GRBs are more luminous than both XRF-Sne and broad-lined Ic Sne with no GRB Mechanisms: Collapsar: a BH forms after the core collapses, and rapid accretion on it feeds the GRB jet. Magnetar: the NS spin-down powers a relativistic jet Is the early high energy emission due to an engine (jet) or to shock breakout? Are energetic, GRB-less Ic Sne the Progenitors of misaligned GRBs?
