Milvang-Jensen (DARK), report on behalf of a larger \ncollaboration:\n\nWe further inspected our images and spectra (Jakobsson et al., GCN 7757) \nof the afterglow of GRB 080520 (Grupe et al., GCN 7753). A faint \nextension is visible in our images (seeing 0.7\") underlying the \nafterglow emission, which may be due to a relatively bright host galaxy. \nThis is consistent with the 2D trace of the spectrum, which reveals the \nproposed [O II] line to be also spatially extended.\n\nUsing the relations by Kennicutt (1998, ARA&A, 36, 189), the flux of the \n[O II] line (not corrected for extinction) corresponds to a star \nformation rate (SFR) of approximately 15 M_Sun/yr.",
