Castro Cerón\n(DARK Cosmology Centre/Niels Bohr Institute), Javier Gorosabel\n(IAA-CSIC) report:\n\n\"Using FORS2 on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) we have obtained \nspectra of the afterglow of GRB 050824 (GCN 3865, 3866) on 2005, \nAug 25.4 UT. We detect [OII], [OIII], H-beta, and [NeIII] in emission \nand MgII in absorption, corresponding to a redshift of z=0.83.\n\nWe acknowledge excellent support from the Paranal staff, especially \nEmmanuel Jehin.\"",
