GRB 050319: Absorption redshift from the Nordic Optical Telescope
Johan P. U. Fynbo, Jens Hjorth, Brian L. Jensen, Pall Jakobsson
(Niels Bohr Institute), Palle Moller (ESO), Jyri N�r�nen (Nordic
Optical Telescope) report:
"Using ALFOSC on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) we have obtained
spectra of the afterglow of GRB 050319 (GCN 3116, 3117) on 2005,
March 20 UT. We find several absorption features, including strong
Lyman-alpha, OI+SiII, SiIV and CIV, corresponding to a redshift of
z=3.24."
