  "body": "Dear Colleagues:\n\nThis note is to inform you that,  under the aegis of our AO-9\nprogram, we have requested observations of GRB 000926 (GCN 801) with the\nHubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory.  This burst with\na bright optical (GC 803, 804) and radio (GCN 805) afterglow appears\nto be particularly well suited for detailed studies of the afterglow\nand the circumburst medium.\n\nWe encourage intensive ground based observations of this burst so that\nit will become a very well studied GRB. Particularly valuable are\nintensive lightcurves at early times since the earliest HST observation\nis at least a week away (as is the requested Chandra observation).  We\nourselves are planning to supplement the HST and CXO observations with\ndetailed multiwavelength observations at facilities to which our group\nhas access (e.g. Keck, Palomar, MDM, HET). In the radio, we will be\nundertaking observations at VLA and OVRO and possibly other facilities\nas well.\n\nShri Kulkarni, on behalf of a large international GRB collaboration.",
