Scientific paper

We present observations of the dark Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 051008, the burst detected only in gamma- and X-rays but without any optical and radio afterglows. We identified the host galaxy of the burst, it has the R-magnitude of 23m.92+/-0m.07. The photometrical redshift of the galaxy is z = 1.07+/-0.13. We provide arguments in favor of the hypothesis that the galaxy is situated in a cluster. This is one of a few cases of the dark GRB host detection. We present details of observations, intrinsic properties of the host ant its environment.
