title = "Unusually high metallicity host of the dark LGRB 051022",
abstract = "We present spectroscopy of the host of GRB 051022 with GMOS nod and shuffle on Gemini South and NIRSPEC on Keck I I. We determine a metallicity for the host of log(O/H)+12 = 8.77 using the R23 method (Kobulnicky \& Kewley 2004 scale) making this the highest metallicity long burst host yet observed. The galaxy itself is unusually luminous for a LGRB host with a rest frame B band absolute magnitude -21.5 and has the spectrum of a rapidly star-forming galaxy. Our work raises the question of whether other dark burst hosts will show high metallicities.",
