We present UBVRIZJsHKs broad band photometry of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst (GRB) of February 10, 2000. These observations represent the most exhaustive photometry given to date of any GRB host galaxy. A grid of spectral templates have been fitted to the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the host. The derived photometric redshift is z=0.842^+0.054_-0.042, which is in excellent agreement with the spectroscopic redshift (z=0.8463+/-0.0002) proposed by Piro et al. (2002) based on a single emission line. Furthermore, we have determined the photometric redshift of all the galaxies in an area of 6x6 around the host galaxy, in order to check for their overdensity in the environment of the host. We find that the GRB 000210 host galaxy is a subluminous galaxy (L ~ 0.5+/-0.2 L*), with no companions above our detection threshold of 0.18+/-0.06 L*. Based on the restframe ultraviolet flux a star formation rate of 2.1+/-0.2 Solar Masses per year is estimated. The best fit to the SED is obtained for a starburst template with an age of 0.181^+0.037_-0.026 Gyr and a very low extinction (Av~0). We discuss the implications of the inferred low value of Av and the age of the dominant stellar population for the non detection of the GRB 000210 optical afterglow.

We investigate the afterglow of GRB 140713A, a gamma-ray burst (GRB) that was detected and relatively well-sampled at X-ray and radio wavelengths, but was not present at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, despite searches to deep limits. We prese
nt the emission spectrum of the likely host galaxy at $z = 0.935$ ruling out a high-redshift explanation for the absence of the optical flux detection. Modelling the GRB multi-wavelength afterglow using the radiative transfer hydrodynamics code BOXFIT provides constraints on physical parameters of the GRB jet and its environment, for instance a relatively wide jet opening angle and an electron energy distribution slope $p$ below 2. Most importantly, the model predicts an optical flux about two orders of magnitude above the observed limits. We calculated that the required host extinction to explain the observed limits in the $r$, $i$ and $z$ bands was $A^{rm host}_{V} > 3.2$ mag, equivalent to $E(B-V)^{rm host} > 1.0$ mag. From the X-ray absorption we derive that the GRB host extinction is $A^{rm host}_{rm V} = 11.6^{+7.5}_{-5.3}$ mag, equivalent to $E(B-V)^{rm host} = 3.7^{+2.4}_{-1.7}$ mag, which is consistent with the extinction required from our BOXFIT derived fluxes. We conclude that the origin of the optical darkness is a high level of extinction in the line of sight to the GRB, most likely within the GRB host galaxy.
We study the dark nature of GRB 130528A through multi-wavelength observations and conclude that the main reason for the optical darkness is local extinction inside of the host galaxy. Automatic observations were performed at BOOTES-4/MET robotic tele
scope. We also triggered target of opportunity (ToO) observation at the OSN, IRAM PdBI and the GTC+OSIRIS. The host galaxy photometric observations in optical to near-infrared (nIR) wavelengths were achieved through large ground-based aperture telescopes, such as the 10.4m GTC, the 4.2m WHT, 6m BTA, and the 2m LT. Based on these observations, spectral energy distributions (SED) for the host galaxy and afterglow were constructed. Thanks to mm observations at PdBI, we confirm the presence of a mm source within the XRT error circle that faded over the course of our observations and identify the host galaxy. However, we do not find any credible optical source within early observations with BOOTES-4/MET and 1.5m OSN telescopes. Spectroscopic observation of this galaxy by GTC showed a single faint emission line that likely corresponds to [OII] 3727{AA} at a redshift of 1.250+/-0.001 implying a SFR(M_sun/yr) > 6.18 M_sun/yr without correcting for dust extinction. The probable extinction was revealed through analysis of the afterglow SED, resulting in a value of AV >= ~ 0.9 at the rest frame, this is comparable to extinction levels found among other dark GRBs. The SED of the host galaxy is explained well (chi2/d.o.f.=0.564) by a luminous (MB=-21.16), low-extinction (AV =0, rest frame), and aged (2.6 Gyr) stellar population. We can explain this apparent contradiction in global and line-of-sight extinction if the GRB birth place happened to lie in a local dense environment. In light of having relatively small specific SFR (SSFR) ~ 5.3 M_sun/yr (L/L_star)-1, this also could explain the age of the old stellar population of host galaxy.
We report on UBVRIZJsHKs-band photometry of the dark GRB 000210 host galaxy. Fitting a grid of spectral templates to its Spectral Energy Distribution (SED), we derived a photometric redshift (z=0.842+0.0540.042) which is in excellent agreement with t
he spectroscopic one (z=0.8463+/-0.0002; Piro et al. 2002). The best fit to the SED is obtained with a blue starburst template with an age of 0.181+0.0370.026 Gyr. We discuss the implications of the inferred low value of Av and the age of the dominant stellar population for the non detection of the GRB 000210 optical afterglow.
GRB 020903 is a long-duration gamma ray burst (LGRB) with a host galaxy close enough and extended enough for spatially-resolved observations, making it one of less than a dozen GRBs where such host studies are possible. GRB 020903 lies in a galaxy ho
st complex that appears to consist of four interacting components. Here we present the results of spatially-resolved spectroscopic observations of the GRB 020903 host. By taking observations at two different position angles we were able to obtain optical spectra (3600-9000{AA}) of multiple regions in the galaxy. We confirm redshifts for three regions of the host galaxy that match that of GRB 020903. We measure metallicity of these regions, and find that the explosion site and the nearby star-forming regions both have comparable sub-solar metallicities. We conclude that, in agreement with past spatially-resolved studies of GRBs, the GRB explosion site is representative of the host galaxy as a whole rather than localized in a metal-poor region of the galaxy.
In this study optical/near-infrared(NIR) broad band photometry and optical spectroscopic observations of the GRB 030329 host galaxy are presented. The Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the host is consistent with a starburst galaxy template with
a dominant stellar population age of ~150 Myr and an extinction Av ~0.6. Analysis of the spectral emission lines shows that the host is likely a low metallicity galaxy. Two independent diagnostics, based on the restframe UV continuum and the [OII] line flux, provide a consistent unextincted star formation rate of SFR ~0.6 Mo yr^-1. The low absolute magnitude of the host (M_B ~ -16.5) implies a high specific star formation rate value, SSFR = ~34 Mo yr^-1 (L/L*)^-1.
