Scientific paper

We report on near-infrared follow-up observations of the field containing the currently active X-ray transient XTE J1652-453 (Markwardt et al. ATel #2107, #2120). A Ks= 16.9 +/- 0.3 mag NIR counterpart candidate has been suggested on the basis of its coincidence with the radio localization for the X-ray source (Calvelo et al. ATel #2135, Reynolds et al. ATel #2125). We have acquired a series of 15s Ks-band images on 2009 Jul 15 23:02 - 23:14 UT and again on 2009 Aug 28 23:33-23:46 using the PANIC camera attached to the 6.5m Magellan Baade telescope at Las Campanas observatory.
