Scientific paper

We report follow-up observations confirming the near-infrared (NIR) counterpart to the newly discovered accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17511-3057 (Baldoven et al. 2009, ATel #2196; Markwardt et al. 2009, ATel #2197). A Ks~18 mag candidate counterpart was suggested in Torres et al. (ATel #2216) on the basis of its coincidence with the Chandra localization of the X-ray source (Nowak et al. 2009, ATel #2215).
