Discovery and identification of infrared counterpart candidates of four Galactic centre low mass X-ray binaries

Discovery and identification of infrared counterpart candidates of four Galactic centre low mass X-ray binaries

Context. The near infrared (nIR)/optical counterparts of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are often observationally dim and residein high source density fields which make their identification problematic; however, without such a counterpart identification we areunable to investigate many of the prope...
