Scientific paper

ukidss gps is a deep and high-angular-resolution survey of the Galactic plane in the J, H, and K bands. Using this survey, we searched the inner region of the Galaxy (|l| < 10°) for young cluster candidates associated with molecular bubbles (MBs). The latter are observed in the mid-infrared survey glimpse ii. The underlying idea is that MBs may be blown out by powerful sources, such as young O and B stars; some of the MBs in the sample are indeed associated with Hii regions, a hint of the presence of young stars. One of the major observational problems in the Galactic plane is the high degree of interstellar absorption and its spatial variability. A significant effort is also devoted to quantifying this issue.
