Talk:GRB 020813

Redundant
"The spectrum of GRB 011211 was reported to include emission lines associated with the chemical elements magnesium, silicon, sulphur, argon, and calcium, which supported the theory that gamma-ray bursts are preceded by highly massive stars undergoing a supernova collapse.[5] However, these results were considered statistically insignificant and somewhat controversial due to the low resolution of the instruments used.[6] The spectrum of GRB 020813 was also found to display emission lines of elements associated with supernovae, in this case sulphur and silicon.[6] This evidence confirmed the connection between supernovae and gamma-ray bursts."

This is both redundant and contradictory. Does anybody know what the mainstream opinion is regarding this event? --Bowlhover (talk) 15:43, 30 May 2010 (UTC)


 * The paragraph is neither redundant nor contradictory. The first few sentences deal with GRB 011211, an entirely different burst. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 00:20, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
