GRB 031203: Magellan spectrum of possible GRB host

report:
"Using the recently commissioned IMACS on the Baade telescope we obtained
a 300l grating spectrum of the galaxy laying within 1" of the VLA position
(Frail, priv. comm.) of the radio source in the XMM error circle
(Santos-Lleo & Calderon #GCN 2464) of the INTEGRAL-discovered GRB 031203
(Gotz et al. GCN #2459).
The spectrum covers 4100-9100 Ang and shows strong, extended emission
lines including Hbeta, [OIII], Halpha, [SII]. All of these lines are
consistent with a redshift z=0.105 (uncorrected for heliocentric motion)."
Data products will be released at as they become available.
