New star clusters projected close to the Galactic Centre

We carried out a systematic search for new star clusters in a field of 5${}^{\circ }\times 5^{\circ }$ centred close to the Galactic Nucleus using the infrared JHK${}_s$ 2MASS Survey archive. In addition we searched for embedded clusters in the directions of HII regions and dark clouds for $\mathrm{\mid }\mathrm{\ell }\mathrm{\mid }\le 4^{\circ }$. As a result we present a list of 58 IR star clusters or candidates. We provide positions, sizes and reddening estimated from 100 $\mu$m dust emission. Their angular distribution together with previously catalogued objects in the region and possible relation with star forming complexes are also discussed.
