Scientific paper

We report observations which identify the optical/IR counterpart to the X-ray transient GRO J1008 -57. The counterpart is shown to be an OB star with a strong infrared (IR) excess and Balmer emission lines, suggesting a Be-type primary. No evidence is found for variability in the Ha emission line over a period of 3 months following the discovery of the counterpart in 1993 December. Key words: binaries: close - stars: emission-line, Be - pulsars: general - infrared: stars - X-rays: stars.
