The GRB980425-SN1998bw Association in the EMBH Model

Our GRB theory, previously developed using GRB 991216 as a prototype, is here applied to GRB 980425. We fit the luminosity observed in the 40–700 keV, 2–26 keV and 2–10 keV bands by the BeppoSAX satellite. In addition the supernova SN1998bw is the outcome of an ``induced gravitational collapse’’ triggered by GRB 980425, in agreement with the GRB-Supernova Time Sequence (GSTS) paradigm (\citet{lett3}). A further outcome of this astrophysically exceptional sequence of events is the formation of a young neutron star generated by the SN1998bw event (\citet{cospar02}). A coordinated observational activity is recommended to further enlighten the underlying scenario of this most unique astrophysical system.
