TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that long-duration γ-ray bursts are associated with the most extremely massive stars and may be restricted to galaxies of limited chemical evolution. But they also show that the host galaxies of the long-drone bursts are significantly fainter and more irregular than the hosts of the core-collapse supernovae.
