VVV near-infrared observations of the Swift J1753.7-2544 field
Abstract
After the announcement of the arcsec-sized soft X-ray error box (ATel #4789) of the X-ray transient Swift J1753.7-2544 (ATel #4769), we searched the archival frames of the near-infrared (NIR) VVV survey (vvvsurvey.org; Minniti et al. 2010, New Astron., 15, 433) of the Galactic Bulge and inner disk, which is being obtained with the 4.1m VISTA telescope at Cerro Paranal (Chile), to look for further NIR objects within the Swift/XRT error circle besides the bright one reported in ATel #4789.
