Abstract

I present the observational properties of the prompt emission of supernova associated GRBs (SN-GRBs) focusing on temporal and spectral characteristics. I compare the properties of SN-GRBs with typical long GRBs to see whether there is a distinct difference or not. Furthermore, I present our attempt to search for hard X-ray emission prior to the discovery date from optically identified type Ibc supernovae using Swift BAT survey data.
