Resumen:
The study of the properties of long gamma-ray burst host galaxies andtheir environment could shed light onto the problem of the nature of thestellar progenitors of these high-energy phenomena. In this paper we presentpreliminary results of an investigation of the host environment of 8 longgamma-ray bursts, that suggest that these phenomena occur in field galaxies.
