U.\nFynbo (DARK/NBI), Pall Jakobsson (Univ. of Hertfordshire), Cedric Ledoux\nand Alain Smette (ESO) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:\n\nWe observed the afterglow of GRB 080413A (GCN 7593, Rykoff & Rujopakarn;\nGCN 7594, Stamatikos et al.) on Apr. 13 starting UT 06:36 with UVES at the\nVLT. Spectra of 2700 s with low S/N were acquired in the DIC 2R and\n2B settings covering the wavelength range between 3250 and 9000 AA.\nWe detect several narrow absorption features including SII, Si II, CII,\nFe II, AlII, C IV, Si IV as well as broad Lyman alpha absorption at the\nhighest redshift system which has z=2.433 and is very likely the redshift\nof GRB 080413A.\n\nWe thank the Paranal staff for executing the observations, in particular\nSwetlana Hubrig and Jose Cortes.",
