Milano-Bicocca), L.\nStella (INAF-OAR), on behalf of the MISTICI collaboration, report: \n\nWe observed the optical afterglow of GRB060926 detected by Swift (S.T. Holland\net al., GCN 5612) with ESO's Very Large Telescope UT2 (Kueyen) at Paranal,\nChile. We obtained three FORS1 spectra with a total exposure of 4800 seconds\nstarting approximately 8 hours after the burst, with the 300V grism and a 1\"\nslit, providing a wavelength coverage of 3800-8900.\n\nWe clearly detect a damped Ly alpha line and various other absorption features\nsuch as Si II,Si IV, CIV at a redshift of z=3.20.\n\nIt's a pleasure to thank the excellent support of the Paranal staff,\nand in particular that of Hugues Sana.\n\nThis message can be cited.\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------\nThis mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/",
