Description
I will discuss various constraints, derived from radio, optical and gamma-ray observations, on the properties of the energy source in long gamma-ray bursts. First, I will present a study of the observational imprint of a jet driven explosion and compare it to available data to determine whether the jet can generate both the gamma-ray burst and the associated supernova. Second, I will show an analysis of the prompt gamma-ray emission that constrains the time scale over which the gamma-ray emission shuts off.
