Scientific paper

We report follow-up observations confirming the near-infrared (NIR) counterpart to the X-ray transient and suggested black hole candidate IGR J17497-2821 (Soldi et al., ATel #885). A Ks=15.9 mag candidate was suggested in Torres et al. (ATel #909) on the basis of its coincidence with the Chandra localization for the X-ray source (Paizis et al. ATel #907; astro-ph/0611344). The candidate appeared blended with a brighter nearby NIR source to the east which partially overlaps the 0.6 arscec Chandra error circle.
