Glossary

Age

age of the stellar population in Myr

Emission line fluxes

corrected for the Galactic dust extinction, expressed in units of 10-17ergs s-1 cm-2. Host dust extinction and stellar Balmer absorption corrections are not applied

Galactic dust extinction

extinction due to dust in the Milky Way along the GRB line of sight , expressed as a color excess EB-V

GRB

gamma-ray burst name

Luminosity distance

for the cosmology with H0= 70 km s-1 Ωm = 0.3 & ΩΛ = 0.7

log M¤

stellar mass in solar units, as measured from the optical-NIR photometry

Redshift

redshift of the host galaxy or GRB afterglow

SED

spectral energy distribution of the host galaxy, corrected for the Galactic dust extinction
