Scientific paper

In order to search for the counterpart of the recently discovered accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17498-2921 (Atel #3551), we investigated recent near-infrared (NIR) data of the Galactic Bulge region obtained as part of the VVV survey (Minniti et al. 2010, New Astronomy, Volume 15, 433). The observations took place while the source was in quiescence. The data have been acquired using the 4-m VISTA telescope at Paranal observatory (Chile), using a camera with pixel sampling of 0.34 arcsec.
