Scientific paper

We present the results of deep infrared imaging in J, H, and K of the quiescent X-ray source located within the 1992 May 1 gamma-ray burst error box. The field is crowded, containing both stars and galaxies, and we discuss the likelihood that they are associated with the X-ray source. Two objects (one star and one galaxy) appear to be the most interesting infrared candidates and are deserving of further study with optical spectroscopy. Independent of whether or not the galaxy is associated with the X-ray source, its presence in the gamma-ray burst error box is consistent with recent findings that bright galaxies are associated with gamma-ray bursts.
