(INAF/OABr), L. Stella (INAF/OAR), and G. Chincarini (Univ.
Milano-Bicocca), report on behalf of the MISTICI collaboration:
Using updated calibration files, we have refined the redshift obtained
at the VLT for GRB 060926 (Piranomonte et al., GCN 5626; Holland et al.,
GCN 5612).
We measure a redshift of z = 3.208 based on the detection of the
following lines in absorption: Lyman-alpha, OI_1302 SiII_1304, CII_1334,
CII_1347, SiIV_1393, SiIV_1402, SiII_1526, SiII*_1533, CIV_1540,
CIV_1550, FeII_1608, FeII_1611, AlII_1670, and SiII_1808.
