Unveiling Hidden Stellar Aggregates in the Milky Way: 1656 New Star Clusters Found in Gaia EDR3

We report 1656 new star clusters found in the Galactic disk (∣ b ∣ < 20°) beyond 1.2 kpc, using Gaia EDR3 data. Based on an unsupervised machine-learning algorithm, DBSCAN, and following our previous studies, we utilized a unique method to do the data preparation and obtain the clustering coeffic...
