A Mature Dusty Star-forming Galaxy Hosting GRB080607 at z=3.036

We report the discovery of the host galaxy of dark burst GRB080607 at z_GRB=3.036. GRB080607 is a unique case of a highly extinguished (A_V~3 mag) afterglow that was yet sufficiently bright for high-quality absorption-line spectroscopy. The host galaxy is clearly resolved in deep HST WF3/IR F160W im...
