Abstract
We propose to obtain late-time spectroscopy of the nearby ($z =
0.0335$) SN~2006aj, associated with GRB~060218. Late-time observations
with GMOS of this supernova are important in understanding the physics
of the explosion by shedding light on the kinds and quantities of
elements created, as well as the velocity structure and geometry of
the ejecta. Understanding the distribution of these properties in
GRB-connected supernovae in contrast to normal Type Ic supernovae is
key to the understanding the processes which give rise to GRBs in supernovae.
