Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxies in Emission and Absorption

Fynbo, Johan P. U.; Perley, Daniel A.; Tanvir, Nial R. +2 more

The galaxy population hosting long-duration GRBs provides a means to constrain the progenitor and an opportunity to use these violent explosions to characterize the nature of the high-redshift universe. Studies of GRB host galaxies in emission reveal a population of star-forming galaxies with great diversity, spanning a wide range of masses, metal…
