We have used deep, near infrared images obtained on VLT/ISAAC to identify candidate counterparts as astrometric matches to the X-ray positions. Follow up $\ks$-band spectroscopic observations of the candidate counterparts are used to search for accretions signatures in the spectrum, namely the Brackett-$\gamma$ emission line \citep{band97}. From our small initial sample, it appears that only a small percentage, $\sim 2 - 3 \%$ of the $\sim 1000$ X-ray sources are high mass X-ray binaries or wind accreting neutron stars, and that the vast majority will be shown to be canonical low mass X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables. \end{abstract} \maketitle \end{document} On 07/11/06, Jennifer & Joseph wrote: > Hello, > > I saw this paper on astro-ph.
