TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 13477 SUBJECT: GRB 120714B: Redshift from VLT/X-shooter DATE: 12/07/15 08:22:43 GMT FROM: Antonio de Ugarte Postigo at IAA-CSIC J.P.U. Fynbo (DARK/NBI), A. de Ugarte Postigo (IAA-CSIC, DARK/NBI), V. D'Elia (ASDC, INAF), D. Xu (WIS), and D. Malesani (DARK/NBI) report on behalf of the X-shooter GRB GTO collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 120714B (Saxton et. al GCN 13471, Marshall & Saxton GCN 13473) with X-shooter at VLT (Paranal, Chile). Observations started on 15 July at 5:06 UT (7.8 hr after the burst) and consisted of a total observing time of 4800 s in each of the UVB, VIS and NIR arms, covering the range between 3000 and 18000 A. The spectrum shows a faint continuum where we detect MgII absorption as well as emission lines of [OII], H-beta, [OIII] and H-alpha at a common redshift of z=0.3984. We acknowledge excellent support from the ESO staff, in particular Dimitri Gadotti.
