Abstract

We present multi-wavelength observations of the dark GRB 051008. The burst was notdetected in the optical bands, however we discover the host galaxy and secured theredshift of the host with following campaign of multicolor observations of Shajn, NOT,Gemini North and Keck telescopes. We provide arguments that the galaxy could be in acomplex of gravitationally bound galaxies. Our investigation of the GRB 051008 alsoconfirms a tendency of host galaxies of dark bursts to be more dusty.
