Scientific paper

The UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) is surveying the northern and equatorial plane in the J, H and K bands. Here we report initial results from searches for new clusters and star formation regions. 248 clusters have been detected by our Bayesian search, of which 127 are new. A visual inspection of the images is also proving successful. A cross match with Spitzer-GLIMPSE to find clusters of Young Stellar Objects is being attempted. No new globular clusters are detected except for two likely candidates already detected by Mercer et al. in GLIMPSE.
