Keck Spectroscopy and<i>Hubble Space Telescope</i>Imaging of GRB 000926: Probing a Host Galaxy at<i>z</i>= 2.038

We present early-time Keck spectroscopic observations and late-time Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of GRB 000926. The HST images show a small offset between the optical transient and a bright, compact knot in the host galaxy. Combined with the large equivalent widths measured for metallic absorption lines by the Keck …
