We analyze cross-correlation functions between Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) hosts and surrounding galaxies. We have used data obtained with the Very Large Telescope at Cerro Paranal (Chile), as well as public Hubble Space Telescope data. Our results indicate that Gamma-Ray Burst host galaxies do not reside in high galaxy density environments. Moreover, the host-galaxy cross-correlations show a relatively low amplitude. Our results are in agreement with the cross-correlation function between star-forming galaxies and surrounding objects in the HDF-N.
Due to their extreme luminosities, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be detected in hostile regions of galaxies, nearby and at very high redshift, making them important cosmological probes. The investigation of galaxies hosting long-duration GRBs (whose pr
We present millimetre (mm) and submillimetre (submm) photometry of a sample of host galaxies of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), obtained using the MAMBO2 and SCUBA bolometer arrays respectively. These observations were obtained as part of an ongoing project
We report on the results of a study to obtain limits on the absorbing columns to wards an initial sample of 10 long Gamma-Ray Bursts observed with BeppoSAX, using a new approach to SED fitting to nIR, optical and X-ray afterglow data, in count space
The composition and amount of interstellar dust within gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies is of key importance when addressing selection effects in the GRB redshift distribution, and when studying the properties of their host galaxies. As well as th
We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 980703. Several emission and absorption features are detected, making the redshift, z = 0.966, completely unambiguous. This is only the third known redshift for a G
