We present the results of a 9.3-deg2 infrared (ZYJHK) survey
Upper Scorpius association extracted from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky
Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Cluster Survey Early Data Release (Dye et al.,
2006MNRAS.372.1227D). We have selected a total of 112 candidates from
the (Z-J, Z) colour-magnitude diagram over the Z=12.5-20.5 magnitude
range, corresponding to M=0.25-0.01M{sun} at an age of 5Myr
and a distance of 145pc. Additional photometry in J and K filters
revealed most of them as reddened stars, leaving 32 possible members.
Among them, 15 have proper motion consistent with higher-mass members
from Hipparcos and optical spectra with strong Hα in emission and
weak gravity features. We have also extracted two lower-mass candidate
members for which no optical spectra are in hand. Three members exhibit
strong Hα equivalent widths (>20{AA}), suggesting that they
could still undergo accretion, whereas two other dwarfs show signs of
chromospheric activity. The likelihood of the binarity of a couple of
new stellar and substellar members is discussed as well.
