These properties of GRB hosts and their evolution with redshift can be understood in a cosmological context of star-forming galaxies and a picture in which the hosts’ properties at low redshift are influenced by the tendency of GRBs to avoid the most metal-rich environments. 2015-11-10 13:22:42 Science & Technology Physical Sciences Astronomy & Astrophysics gamma-ray burst: general galaxies: high-redshift galaxies: star formation galaxies: evolution STAR-FORMING GALAXIES MASS-METALLICITY RELATION DIGITAL SKY SURVEY CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE COSMIC CHEMICAL EVOLUTION HIGH-REDSHIFT GALAXIES FORMATION RATE DENSITY LYMAN BREAK GALAXIES LY-ALPHA EMITTERS GRB HOST GALAXIES
