Abstract
Abstract. We carried out a systematic search for new star clusters in a field of 5 5 centred close to the Galactic Nucleus using the infrared JHKs 2MASS Survey archive. In addition we searched for embedded clusters in the directions of HII regions and dark clouds for j`j 4 . As a result we present a list of 58 IR star clusters or candidates. We provide positions, sizes and reddening estimated from 100 m dust emission. Their angular distribution together with previously catalogued objects in the  ...

In addition we searched for embedded clusters in the directions of HII regions and dark clouds for j`j 4 . As a result we present a list of 58 IR star clusters or candidates. We provide positions, sizes and reddening estimated from 100 m dust emission. Their angular distribution together with previously catalogued objects in the region and possible relation with star forming complexes are also discussed.  ...
