| Abstract | We are conducting a large program to classify newly discover ed Milky Way star cluster candidates from the list of Froebrich, Scholz & Raftery (200 7b). Here we present deep NIR follow-up observations from ESO/NTT of 14 star cluster cand idates. We show that the combined analysis of star density maps and colour-colour/magn itude diagrams derived from deep near-infrared imaging is a viable tool to reliably classify new stellar clusters. This allowed us to identify two young clusters with massive stars, three int rmediate age open clusters, and two globular cluster candidates among our targets. The rema ining seven objects are unlikely to be stellar clusters. Among them is the object FSR 1767 whic h as previously been identified as a globular cluster using 2MASS data by Bonatto et al. (2007 ). Our new analysis shows that FSR 1767 is not a star cluster. We also summarise the currentl y available follow-up analysis of the FSR candidates and conclude that this catalogue may co ntain a large number of new stellar clusters, probably dominated by old open clusters. |
