Caption: Figure 8.

Effective radius as a function of F160W magnitude (left) and against stellar mass (right) for GRB hosts and 3D-HST star-forming galaxies at 0 < z < 0.5. The red circles are a population of short GRB hosts at z < 1 from Fong et al. (2022) and Nugent et al. (2022), and blue circles a population of long-GRB hosts at z < 1 from Kelly et al. (2014) and Blanchard et al. (2016). The GRB 221009A host galaxy is visible as an orange star marker. The SFR-weighted median of the 3D-HST population and its 1σ uncertainty are shown as a cyan line and a surrounding cyan region.
