We present data and initial results from VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 galaxies selected by long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) at 0.1 2 by ~0.4 dex. These properties of GRB hosts and their evolution with redshift can be understood in a cosmological context of star-forming galaxies and a picture in which the hosts’ properties at low redshift are influenced by the tendency of GRBs to avoid the most metal-rich environments.

• The Observer's Guide to the Gamma-Ray Burst-Supernova Connection (2016, methodology): “This results stems from a long-debated question of whether LGRBs may be good tracers of the universal star-formation rate over all of cosmic history [213, 216, 231, 252, 256, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269].”
• Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis Version 2.1: Construction, Observational Verification, and New Results (2017, methodology): “If interpreted at fixed age and electron densities, the distribution of [OII]/[OIII] line ratios seen in the GRB hosts of Krühler et al. (2015) is consistent with a metallicity sequence.”
