IR-brightening of GX339-4
Abstract
We report on IR observations obtained during the scientific verification phase of REMIR (field of view of 11'x11' and a pixel size of 1") mounted on the Nasmith focus of REM, the 60-cm robotic telescope located at the La Silla Observatory, Chile. Several images of the field including the position of the black hole candidate GX339-4 have been obtained on 19th February 2004 in the J, H, and K bands with an effective exposure time of 300s each.
