A burst of new ideas

Article Abstract:

The Swift satellite's discovery of a bright [gamma]-ray burst (GRB), GRB 060614, at 12:43:48 UT on 14 June 2006 has triggered NASA's GRB sentinel. The stringent upper limits on the radiation flux are provided from a possible supernova underlying GRB 060614, but these GRBs are contradicting the long and short bursts, each with a very different origin.
