Scientific paper

JHK near-infrared photometry of star clusters in the dwarf irregular/dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 1569 are presented. After adopting several criteria to exclude other sources (foreground stars, background galaxies, etc.), 154 candidates of star clusters are identified in the near-infrared images of NGC 1569, which include very young star clusters. Especially, from analysis based on theoretical background, we found ten very young star clusters near the center of NGC 1569. total reddening values toward these clusters are estimated to be A_V =1 - 9 mag from comparison with the theoretical estimates given by the Leitherer et al. (1999)'s star cluster model.
