Scientific paper

The optical counterpart of the Z source GX 349 + 2 was identified with an 18th magnitude star, whose spectrum shows strong H-alpha-emission. If this emission originates from rotating material in an accretion disk around the neutron star, a lower limit to the orbital period of 1.0 x sin-cubed (i) day is derived. If the companion is a giant, for spectral type G5 and M2 upper limits to the orbital period of 11.2 and 19.5 days, respectively are derived. The reddening toward the source is A(v) about 5.
