Abstract
In this study we present optical/near-infrared (NIR) broad band photometry and optical spectroscopic observations of the GRB 030329 host galaxy. 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∼ 0.6M� yr−1. The low absolute magnitude of the host (MB ∼ −16.5) implies a high specific star formation rate value, SSFR∼=34M� yr−1(L/L�)−1.

Based on observations carried out with the Nordic Optical Telescope, operated on the island of La Palma jointly by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofısica de Canarias. Based on data taken at the 2.2-m and 3.5-m telescopes of the Centro Astron´omico Hispano Aleman de Calar Alto, operated by the Max Planck institute of Heidelberg and Centro Superior de Investigaciones Cientıficas. The spectral observations were obtained at the European Southern Observatory, Cerro Paranal (Chile), under the Director’s Discretionary Time programme 271.D-5006(A). |
