Resumen

Using 2MASS and Denis catalogs, we perfomred a search for very low-mass stars and browndwarf candidates covering an area of 168 deg2in the Upper Scorpius association (∼ 10 Myr,∼ 145 pc). From I, I −J and I, I −Ks color-magnitude diagrams, we selected 1257 candidatesin the magnitude range I=13-18.5 mag, which follow the photometric sequence of previouslyknown members. Using the position on the sky, parallaxes and proper motions from the GaiaDR2 data, we determined bona fide members, searched for companions, and investigated thedistance, spatial structure and the kinematic of the association.
