Catalogue of bright YSO candidates in ISOGAL

In a previous paper (Felli et al., 2000, Cat. <J/A+A/362/199>) we established criteria of general validity to select YSOs from the much larger population of Post Main Sequence (Post-MS) stars present in the ISOGAL fields by comparing radio and IR observations of five fields located at l~45{deg}.

The selection was based primarily on the position of the point sources in the [15]-([7]-[15]) diagram, which involves only ISOGAL data and allows to find possible YSOs using the survey data alone. In the present work we revise the adopted criteria by comparing radio-identified ultra-compact HII regions and ISOGAL observations over a much larger region. The main indications of the previous analysis are confirmed, but the criteria for selecting YSO candidates had to be revised to select only bright objects, in order to limit the contamination of the sample by Post-MS stars.
