Abstract

We are reporting some recent results from our long-term program aimed at better understanding of the hidden present-day star cluster population in the Galaxy. So far, most clusters from our studies have typical ages of 3-10 Myr, and typical masses of order of a few thousand solar masses. Only two of them-[DBSB2003] 179 and RCW87-are moderately massive (at or approaching 104 solar masses). © 2009: Instituto de Astronomía, UNAM.
