Stanek (CfA)\n\nSpectra of the optical afterglow of GRB 030329 (Peterson & Price,\nGCN 1985; Torii: GCN 1986) were obtained with the\nMagellan 6.5-m Clay telescope and LDSS2 imaging/spectrograph\nstarting at March 30.06 (UT). The spectra cover the wavelength\nrange of 4000 to 9000 Ang. with a resolution of 13 Ang. FWHM.\nPreliminary analysis of the spectum of this bright GRB afterglow\nshows a smooth blue continuum with no significant absorption\nfeatures. The only obvious feature is an unresolved emission\nline at 5852 Ang. If this is [OII] emission from the host galaxy,\nthen the redshift is z=0.57. Further analysis is continuing.\n\nThis message may be cited.\n\n[GCN OPS NOTE(02apr03): The date int he first line was corrected\nfrom \"GRB 030328\" to \"GRB 030329\".]",
