Query: Probing the cosmic star formation using long Gamma-Ray Bursts: New
  constraints from the Spitzer Space Telescope   We report on IRAC-4.5mic, IRAC-8.0mic and MIPS-24mic deep observations of 16
Gamma-Ray Burst (GRBs) host galaxies performed with the Spitzer Space
Telescope, and we investigate in the thermal infrared the presence of evolved
stellar populations and dust-enshrouded star-forming activity associated with
these objects. Our sample is derived from GRBs that were identified with
sub-arcsec localization between 1997 and 2001, and only a very small fraction
(~20%) of the targeted sources is detected down to f_4.5mic ~3.5microJy and
f_24mic ~85microJy (3sigma). This likely argues against a population dominated
by massive and strongly-starbursting (i.e., SFR > ~100 Msol/yr) galaxies as it
has been recently suggested from submillimeter/radio and optical studies of
similarly-selected GRB hosts. Furthermore we find evidence that some GRBs do
not occur in the most infrared-luminous regions -- hence the most actively
star-forming environments -- of their host galaxies. Should the GRB hosts be
representative of all star-forming galaxies at high redshift, models of
infrared galaxy evolution indicate that > ~50% of GRB hosts should have f_24mic
> ~100microJy. Unless the identification of GRBs prior to 2001 was prone to
strong selection effects biasing our sample against dusty galaxies, we infer in
this context that the GRBs identified with the current techniques can not be
directly used as unbiased probes of the global and integrated star formation
history of the Universe.
