dc.descriptionWe present first results of a campaign to find and identify new compact objects in the Galactic Center. Selecting candidates from a combination of Chandra and 2MASS survey data, we search for accretion disk signatures via infrared spectroscopy. We have found the infrared counterpart to the Chandra source CXO J174536.1-285638, the spectrum of which has strong Br-gamma and HeI emission. The presence of CIII, NIII, and HeII indicate a binary system. We suspect that the system is some form of high-mass binary system, either a high-mass X-ray binary or a colliding wind binary.
