Scientific paper

We report observations of the likely optical counterpart to the 361-s X-ray pulsar XTE J1855-026 (Corbet et al. 1999, ApJ 517, 956; Corbet & Mukai 2002, astroph/0207181), which is part of an eclipsing binary with a 6.01-d orbit. Our candidate is a relatively bright star right on the edge of the new 12" ASCA error circle (Corbet & Mukai 2002, astroph/0207181), which doesn't contain any obvious candidate, and therefore the likely optical counterpart (coordinates from SIMBAD RA: 18:55:30.5, Dec: -02:36:21).
