Abstract
The optical counterpart of the new transient X-ray source, GRS 1121-68, Nova Muscae 1991, has been identified. The optical position, the optical lightcurve, and two early-stage flux calibrated spectra are reported. The available data support the binary nature of Nova Muscae 1991. Similarity with A0620-00 in its early evolutionary stages suggests that Nova Muscae 1991 is a possible black hole candidate.
