  We report on a campaign to identify the counterparts to the population of
X-ray sources discovered at the centre of our Galaxy by Wang et al.(2002) using
Chandra. 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 (Bandyopadhyay et al.1997). From our small initial
sample, it appears that only a small percentage, ~2-3% of the ~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.
