Reinsch with \nthe ESO VLT and the FORS1 instrument as part of the FORS Consortium \nGuaranteed Time Observations have revealed the nature of objects \nclose to the optical transient. The two objects 3 and 12 arcsec \nnorth of the OT with V = 20.0 and V = 23.7 are cool foreground \nstars of spectral types dM0 and about dM3. The object 2 arcsec \nsouth of the OT with V = 22.7 is probably a star of somewhat \nearlier spectral type. A spectrum of the OT taken on May 14.25 is \nnoisy but showed no obvious features. A V-band image taken on May \n18.36 with the VLT under 0.9arcsec seeing shows the OT at magnitude \n24.5 with no evidence so far of the host galaxy \n(http://www.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~hessman/GRB/).\n\nThis message is citeable.",
