Description
GHostS is the largest public data-base on gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies and is accessible at the URL http://www.grbhosts.org. Started in 2005, it currently contains photometric and spectroscopic information on 39 GRB hosts, almost 2/5 of the total number of GRBs with measured redshift. It will continue to grow, together with the unstoppable data flow from the observatories all over the world, every time a new event is discovered. Among other features, GHostS uses the Virtual Observatory resources. (orig.)
