We have searched for potential near-infrared counterparts to the new Galactic Center X-ray transient, Swift J1822.3-1606 (ATEL #3488, #3489, #3490, #3491, #3493, #3495, #3496, #3501) using the UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) Catalog (Lucas et al., 2008, MNRAS, 391, 136). Within the enhanced Swift-XRT error circle (1.8" radius) centered at RA 18:22:18.00, Dec -16:04:26.8 (ATel #3493), there are two infrared stellar sources in the UKIDSS GPS catalog:
RA Dec J H K star 1 18:22:17.9 -16:04:25.9 13.90 12.37 11.65 star 2 18:22:18:0 -16:04:28.2 16.50 15.44 14.97
These are the same as "S1" and "S2" identified by Gorosabel et al.
