摘要
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst (GRB) 080325 using Subaru/Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph. The obtained spectrum provides a clear detection of Ha emission and marginal [NII].6584. The host is a massive (M* similar to 1011Me), dusty (A(V) similar to 1.2) star-forming galaxy at z = 1.78. The extinction-corrected star formation rate (SFR) calculated from the Ha luminosity (35.6-47.0Me yr(-1)) is typical among GRB host galaxies (and star-forming galaxies generally) at z > 1; however, the specific SFR is lower than for normal star-forming galaxies at redshift similar to 1.6, in contrast to the high specific SFR measured for many of other GRB hosts. The metallicity of the host is estimated to be 12 + log(O/H) KK04 = 8.88. We emphasize that this is one of the most massive host galaxies at z > 1 for which metallicity is measured with emission-line diagnostics. The metallicity is fairly high among GRB hosts, however, this is still lower than the metallicity of normal star-forming galaxies of the same mass at z similar to 1.6. The metallicity offset from normal star-forming galaxies is close to a typical value of other GRB hosts and indicates that GRB host galaxies are uniformly biased toward low metallicity over a wide range of redshifts and stellar masses. The low-metallicity nature of the GRB 080325 host likely cannot be attributed to the fundamental metallicity relation of star-forming galaxies because it is a metal-poor outlier from the relation and has a low specific star formation rate. Thus, we conclude that metallicity is important to the mechanism that produced this GRB.
