Infrared star clusters with |b|<20{deg} J/MNRAS/374/399 ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/374/399 doi:10.26093/cds/vizier.73740399 CDS Froebrich D. Scholz A. Raftery C.L. 2024-07-04T20:17:47Z 2007-12-04T06:58:25Z CDS support team CDS, Observatoire de Strasbourg, 11 rue de l'Universite, F-67000 Strasbourg, France cds-question@unistra.fr globular-star-clusters open-star-clusters infrared-sources We used star density maps obtained from the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) to obtain a sample of star clusters in the entire Galactic Plane with |b|<20{deg}. A total of 1788 star cluster candidates are identified in this survey. Among those are 681 previously known open clusters and 86 globular clusters. A statistical analysis indicates that our sample of 1021 new cluster candidates has a contamination of about 50 per cent. Star cluster parameters are obtained by fitting a King profile to the star density. These parameters are used to statistically identify probable new globular cluster candidates in our sample. A detailed investigation of the projected distribution of star clusters in the Galaxy demonstrates that they show a clear tendency to cluster on spatial scales in the order of 12-25pc, a typical size for molecular clouds. 2007MNRAS.374..399F https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/374/399 Catalog Research IsServedBy TAP VizieR generic service IsServedBy Conesearch service related-to II/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003) https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/374/399 https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/374/399 http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/374/399 https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/374/399 https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/374/399 http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/374/399 GET text/xml+votable https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/374/399/tables (Combined table from original tables) https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/374/399/tables? https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/374/399/tables? http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/374/399/tables?
