We report on near-infrared and Chandra follow-up observations of the currently active accreting ms-pulsar IGR J17498-2921 (ATel #3551, #3556). An H-band infrared counterpart candidate with H= 15.7 ± 0.1 mag has been suggested in ATel #3562 on the basis of its coincidence with the Chandra position for the X-ray source (ATel #3559, #3606; cf. ATel #3634).
INFRARED PHOTOMETRY: We have acquired a series of 45s H-band images on 2011 Sep 02 03:13 - 03:41 UT using the Retrocam camera attached to the 2.5m Irenee du Pont telescope at Las Campanas observatory.
