TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 5276 SUBJECT: GRB 060614: redshift confirmation DATE: 06/06/21 17:21:33 GMT FROM: Daniele Malesani at SISSA-ISAS,Trieste,Italy D. Fugazza (INAF/OABr), D. Malesani (SISSA), P. Romano, G. Tagliaferri, S. Covino (INAF/OABr), G. Chincarini (INAF/OABr & Univ. Milano-Bicocca), M. Della Valle (INAF/OAA), F. Fiore, & L. Stella (INAF/OAR), report on behalf of the MISTICI collaboration: We observed the afterglow of GRB 060614 (Parsons et al., GCN 5252; Mangano et al., GCN 5254; Brown et al., GCN 5262) with VLT+FORS2. A spectrum was taken with the grism 300V (resolution ~10 A, wavelength coverage 4500-9500 A). The total exposure time was 50 min, with mean time Jun 21.365 UT. Based on the identification of several emission lines, among which Halpha, weak Hbeta, [OIII] 4959, [OIII] 5007, we confirm the redshift z=0.125 reported by Price et al. (GCN 5275). We acknowledge the excellent support from the ESO staff, in particular Riccardo Scarpa. This message can be cited.
