| Abstract: | Automated search for star clusters in J, H, K
s
data from 2MASS catalog has been performed using the method developed by Koposov et al. (2008). We have found and verified
153 new clusters in the interval of the galactic latitude −24° < b < 24°. Color excesses E(B − V), distance moduli and ages were determined for 130 new and 14 yet-unstudied known clusters. In this paper, we publish a catalog
of coordinates, diameters, and main parameters of all the clusters under study. A special web-site available at has been developed to facilitate dissemination and scientific usage of the results. |
