A Population of Short-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts with Dwarf Host Galaxies

We present a population of 11 of the faintest (>25.5 AB mag) short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies. We model their sparse available observations using the stellar population inference code Prospector - β and develop a novel implementation to incorporate the galaxy mass–radius relation. Assumi...
