DISCOVERY OF THE NEAR-INFRARED COUNTERPART TO THE LUMINOUS NEUTRON-STAR LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARY GX 3+1

DISCOVERY OF THE NEAR-INFRARED COUNTERPART TO THE LUMINOUS NEUTRON-STAR LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARY GX 3+1

Using the High Resolution Camera on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we have measured an accurate position for the bright persistent neutron star X-ray binary and atoll source GX 3+1. At a location that is consistent with this new position, we have discovered the near-infrared (NIR) counterpart...
