A VARIABLE NEAR-INFRARED COUNTERPART TO THE NEUTRON-STAR LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARY 4U 1705 – 440
We report the discovery of a near-infrared (NIR) counterpart to the persistent neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1705 – 440, at a location consistent with its recently determined Chandra X-ray position. The NIR source is highly variable, with Ks -band magnitudes varying between 15.2 and 17.3 and...
