Masetti (INAF/IASF Bo), G. \nAndreuzzi, N. Pinilla Alonso (INAF/TNG), report on behalf of a larger \ncollaboration:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 060428B (Campana et al., GCN 5017; Troja et \nal., GCN 5031), possibly an X-ray flash (Sakamoto et al., GCN 5029). We \nundertook spectroscopy of the object 3\" close to the optical afterglow \n(Price et al., GCN 5019; Li et al., GCN 5027; Halpern & Mirabal, GCN \n5034), considering it as a potential host galaxy. Low-resolution \nspectroscopy (~15 A FWHM) was obtained with TNG+DOLoRes, starting on \n2005 May 3.89273, for a total exposure time of 1 hr.\n\nInspection of the spectrum reveals a smooth, very red continuum. No \nprominent features were detected either in emission or in absorption. We \nthus consider unlikely that this object is the host galaxy of GRB 060428B.\n\nA plot of the spectrum can be found at the following URL:\nhttp://www.sissa.it/~malesani/GRB/060428B/spectrum.gif\n\nThis message can be cited.",
