We report near-infrared radial velocity measurements of the recently identified donor star in the high mass X-ray binary system OAO 1657–415 obtained in the H band using ISAAC on the VLT. Cross-correlation methods were employed to construct a radial velocity curve with a semi-amplitude of 22.1± 3.5 km s. Combined with other measured parameters of this system this provides a dynamically determin...
