TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 12866 SUBJECT: GRB 120119A: Lick 3m Spectroscopy DATE: 12/01/19 06:23:08 GMT FROM: Antonino Cucchiara at UCSC/UCO Lick Anna Pancoast (UCSB), Rebecca Rosen (Cal Poly), Vardha Bennert (Cal Poly), A. Cucchiara (UCO) and J. Xavier Prochaska (UCO) on behalf of GRAASP report: "We observed the afterglow of GRB 120119 with the Kast dual spectrometer for 1800s total starting at UT 05:30 under fine conditions. Analysis of the red side exposure shows strong absorption from ZnII and FeII transitions at a common redshift of z=1.73 confirming the reported redshift of Cucciara & Prochaska (GCN 12865). Further analysis is in progress. This GCN may be cited.
