We present a statistically robust mass-metallicity (M-Z) relation for long-duration gamma-ray burst (LGRB) host galaxies at z < 1. By comparing the LGRB host M-Z relation to samples representative of the general star-forming galaxy…

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) provide a premier tool for studying high-redshift star-forming galaxies thanks to their extreme brightness and association with massive stars. Here we use GRBs to study the galaxy mass-metallicity…

(Abridged) We perform a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of a sample of 20 starburst galaxies that show the presence of a substantial population of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. In this paper we present the analysis of the O and WR star…

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) provide a premier tool for studying high-redshift star-forming galaxies thanks to their extreme brightness and association with massive stars. Here we use GRBs to study the galaxy stellar…

The favoured progenitors of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are rapidly rotating Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. However, most Galactic WR stars are slow rotators, as stellar winds are thought to remove angular momentum. This poses a challenge…

We predict the metallicity probability distribution function (PDF) of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies at low-redshifts ($z \la 0.3$) when GRBs occur only in low-metallicity environment, assuming empirical formulations of galaxy…

Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are powerful probes of the Universe star formation history, but correlation between the two depends on the highly debated presence/strength of a metallicity bias. To investigate this correlation, we use…

We investigate the existence of a metallicity threshold for the production of long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs). We used the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 sample of LGRBs. We considered the stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and…

Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the death of massive stars. Their host galaxies therefore represent a unique class of objects tracing star formation across the observable Universe. Indeed, recently accumulated evidence…

We investigate the metallicity properties of host galaxies of long Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) in the light of the Fundamental Metallicity Relation (FMR), the tight dependence of metallicity on mass and SFR recently discovered for SDSS galaxies…

We investigate the mass distribution of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies and the redshift distribution of long GRBs by considering that long GRBs occur in low-metallicity environments. We calculate the upper limit on the stellar…

Aims: We study the distribution of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and their subtypes with respect to their host galaxy light distribution. We thus want to investigate whether WR stars are potential progenitors of stripped-envelope core-collapse…

We have conducted the first dedicated spectroscopic survey of long-duration gamma-ray burst (LGRB) host galaxies at z < 1, and use these observations along with data from the literature to determine a wide range of ISM properties and a…

Wolf-Rayet stars (WRs) are one of the final evolutionary stages of massive stars and immediate progenitors of stellar-mass black holes. Their multiplicity forms an important anchor point in single and binary population models for predicting…

We have carried out a search for Wolf-Rayet galaxies in all galaxies with EW(Hb)>2AA in the SDSS DR6. We identify Wolf-Rayet features using a mixture of automatic and visual classification and find a total of 570 galaxies with significant…

We have obtained high quality FORS1/VLT optical spectra of 85 disk HII regions several nearby spiral galaxies. Our sample of metal-rich HII regions with metallicities close to solar and higher reveal the presence of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in…

We study the implication of the collapsar model for Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (LGRBs) on the metallicity properties of the host galaxies, by combining high-resolution N-body simulations with semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. The…

The host galaxy of the long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 031203 (HG031203) offers a precious opportunity to study in detail the environment of a nearby GRB. The aim is to better characterize this galaxy and analyse the possible evolution…

Observed properties of GRBs, WR stars and their CO-cores in the end of evolution are analyzed. A possible bimodality of the observed GRB energy distribution ($10^{48}$ erg for GRB9809425; $3\times 10^{51}\div 2\times 10^{54}$ erg for…

We calculated pre-supernova evolution models of single rotating massive stars. These models reproduce observations during the early stages of the evolution very well, in particular Wolf--Rayet (WR) populations and ratio between type II and…
