New star clusters discovered in the GLIMPSE survey. (2005)

Keywords : infrared stars - open clusters and associations: general

Abstract:A systematic and automated search of the extensive GLIMPSE (Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire) mid-infrared survey data of the inner Galaxy was carried out to uncover new star clusters. This search has yielded 59 new clusters. Using our automated search algorithm, these clusters were identified as significant localized overdensities in the GLIMPSE point-source catalog (GLMC) and archive (GLMA). Subsequent visual inspection of the GLIMPSE image mosaics confirmed the existence of these clusters plus an additional 33 heavily embedded clusters missed by our detection algorithm, for a total of 92 newly discovered clusters. ...(more)
