AbstractThe data on the location of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) relative to their host galaxies are used to derive the distribution of surface density of GRBs along the galaxy radius. It is shown that the gradient of GRB surface density changes abruptly near the half-light radius. In the central parts of galaxies the distribution of GRBs resembles closely the luminosity distribution, while in the outer parts the galactic surface brightness falls much steeper than the GRBs density. The radial distribution of type Ib/c supernovae is investigated on the basis of enlarged statistics. It is shown that SNe Ib/c do not differ significantly from other types of supernovae and their distribution is more similar to the one for recent star formation sites than that of GRBs. In spite of the poor statistics of GRBs, the difference in the distributions of active star formation regions and GRBs appears to be significant. We get the Kolmogorov-Smirnov probability P_ks of only 4% that GRBs and star-forming sites belong to the same distribution. The correlation of GRBs with the distribution of dark matter in the outer parts of galaxies is not excluded.
