The Rates of Hypernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursts: Implications for their Progenitors
A critical comparison of estimates for the rates of hypernovae (HNe) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is presented. Within the substantial uncertainties, the estimates are shown to be quite comparable and give a Galactic rate of $10^{-6}$ -- $10^{-5} $yr$^{-1}$ for both events. These rates are several or...
