GCN 4211) of GRB\n051109 (Tagliaferri et al. GCN 4213) with the 9.2m Hobby-Eberly\nTelescope (+ Marcario Low-Resolution Spectrograph) beginning November\n9, 03:55:40 UT (~2.5 hrs after the burst trigger). Several absorption\nlines are present in the spectrum corresponding to Si II (1526.7), C\nIV, Cr II (2056.3, 2066.2), and Fe II (2344.2, 2382.8) among others\nat a redshift of z=2.346.",
