Abstract
Using the Suprime-Cam on the Subaru telescope, we carried out deep multi band (V,R, I, z) imaging for the host galaxy of GRB980329, which is one of well studied “optically dark” gamma-ray bursts. The host galaxy was detected clearly in all bands. Combining these measurements with published near-infrared data, we determined the photometric redshift of the galaxy as z = 3.56 (3.21–3.79 at 90 range). The implied V -band extinction is rather low, typically ∼ 1 mag. At z = 3.56, the isotropic 40–700 keV total energy of GRB980329 is calculated as (2.1 ± 0.4) × 1054 erg. Assuming that this GRB was emitted by a pair of jets with a total energy of 1051 ergs, their opening angle is calculated as θj = 2.1. The present results disfavor the high-redshift hypothesis and the high extinction scenario of optically dark bursts.
