R. Chornock and E. Berger (Harvard) report:
We obtained a 1200s spectrum of the SDSS galaxy within the XRT error
circle (Malesani & de Ugarte Postigo, GCN 11449) of GRB 101213A
(Sakamoto et al., GCN 11448; Gruber et al., GCN 11454; Golenetskii et
al., GCN 11456; Hanabata et al., GCN 11458) using GMOS on Gemini-North
on Jan. 7.65 UT to cover the spectral range 3900-8100 Angstroms. The
galaxy has a blue continuum and exhibits emission lines of H-beta and [O
III] at a redshift of z=0.414.
