Abstract:Long GRB hosts at $z<1$ are usually low-mass, low-metallicity star-forming galaxies. Here we present the most detailed, spatially resolved study of the host of GRB 171205A so far, a grand-design barred spiral galaxy at $z=0.036$. Our analysis includes MUSE integral field spectroscopy complemented with high-spatial-resolution UV/VIS HST imaging and CO(1--0) and H i 21cm data. The GRB is located in a small star-forming region in a spiral arm of the galaxy at a deprojected distance of sim 8\,kpc from the cent… Show more
