Abstract (from CDS):

D. Baba and T. Nagata, Nagoya University, on behalf of the Infrared Survey Facility and Simultaneous Three-color Infrared Imager for Unbiased Survey teams of Nagoya University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan; I. Iwata and T. Kato, Kyoto University; and H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, report on near-infrared (J, H, K_s) imaging of the field of the x-ray transient IGR J17464-3213. Two distinct infrared sources exist within 2" of the radio counterpart (IAUC 8105); the northeast one (with magnitudes K_s = 13.9 ± 0.2 on Apr. 5.97 UT and K_s = 13.6 ± 0.2 on Apr. 6.97) is not visible on public 2MASS images, and the southwest one has similar brightness to the source on the 2MASS image. Given the proximity to the radio counterpart and the apparent absence on the 2MASS images, the northeast source (at R.A. = 17h46m15s.57, Decl. = -32o14'01".1, equinox 2000.0; from 34 2MASS reference stars; rms error 0".1) is likely to be the infrared counterpart of IGR J17464-3213.
