GRB 050408: Retraction of Proposed Host Galaxy
D. Q. Lamb, D. G. York, and D. E. Reichart report:
We agree that the galaxy we proposed as the host galaxy of GRB 040508
lies ~ 8 arcsec South-West of the burst afterglow (Kosugi et al., GCN
Circular 3215; Monfardini, GCN Circular 3216) and therefore cannot be
the host galaxy of the burst.
