Abstract
Because long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) occur at the end of the evolution of certain types of massive stars, we can expect the observed signal of the gamma-ray burst afterglow to contain information about the circumstellar environment through which the GRB jet moves. This environment has been shaped by the stellar wind and radiation over the course of the stellar evolution, which allows us to use the GRB afterglow observations to investigate the course of stellar evolution that leads to a GRB.
