摘要：
Gamma-ray bursts are likely to be associated with regions of active star formation and may therefore be useful as cosmological tracers of galaxy formation. Using hydrodynamical/N-body simulations the cosmological properties of host galaxies are investigated. Assuming the hosts to be efficient star-forming objects, i.e. with high specific star formation rates, the majority of the candidate hosts are found to below mass, young galaxies with a moderate star formation rate. This picture, consistent with most observations of GRB host galaxies, corroborates the idea that gamma-ray bursts do not follow the cosmic star formation rate. More importantly the hosts should contribute to unveil the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function.
