Abstract
We identify the periodic transient hard X-ray source GRO J1849-03 with the transient X-ray pulsar GS 1843-02 = X1845-024 on the basis of the detection of X-ray outbursts from X1845-024 coincident with hard X-ra y outbursts of GRO J1849-03. From its spin period of 94.8 s and its or bital period of 241 days, we classify the system as a Be/X-ray binary.
