3
69 Host Galaxies (R-band)
4
Redshift Distribution Before TOUGH: = 2.39
5
Redshift Distribution Before TOUGH: = 2.39 TOUGH (FORS): = 2.23
6
Redshift Distribution TOUGH (FORS): = 2.23 Before TOUGH: = 2.39 15 new redshifts 68/69 hosts have a redshift constraint TOUGH (X-shooter): = 2.23 77% (53/69) redshift completion
7
1. A Swift-detected GRB with t 90 > 2 s. 2. XRT afterglow position distributed within 12 hours. 3. Small foreground Galactic extinction: A V < 0.5 mag. 4. Favorable declination: -70° < δ < 27°. 5. Afterglow error radius < 2”. March 2005 – August 2007: 69 GRBs 75% had an optical/NIR afterglow TOUGH Sample Selection Criteria 55% had a reported redshift (38/69)
8
Blue: short bursts Empty circles: without an X-ray afterglow Filled circles: with an X-ray afterglow Crosses: untriggered bursts Sample Selection: Sky Map
9
R-band detections: 53/69 = 77% K-band detections: 24/60 = 40% How Many Hosts Detected (R-band)?
10
-15 > M B > -22 GRB hosts are mostly subluminous In line with previous findings based on smaller and less complete samples Host Properties
