Description

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows identify a galaxy population that otherwise is missed by even deep cosmological surveys. This talk describes what can be learned about GRBs from observations of dust and gas in their host galaxies, exploring the new frontiers of multi-wavelength and multi-messenger astronomy.
