Abstract

We analyzed X-ray multi wavelength observations of a selection of 12 X-ray sources discovered in the last years by INTEGRAL or RXTE . We inferred the position of the X-ray sources from Chandra observations and we localized those on Optical and NIR images from various Cilean telescopes, with a precision of few tents of arcseconds, being able to identify with a high confidence the optical/IR counterpart. Combining the information we have in different wavelengths, we investigate the nature of the observed sources.
