(GCN 20146) we performed \nspectroscopy of the afterglow (see also Butler et al. GCN 20149) and host \ngalaxy using the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with AlFOSC. \nThe observation consisted of 2x1200s+1x600s exposures using grism 4, \nstarting at 5:47 UT (2.25 hr after the burst).\n\nThe spectrum shows continuum from 3900 to 9300 AA, with a single \nemission line at 8048 AA, consistent with being due to the [O II] doublet \nat z=1.159. Additionally we detect low SNR absorption features consistent \nwith Mg II, Mg I, and Fe II at the same redshift, which we identify as the \nredshift of the GRB.",
