TeV J2032+4130 is the first extended very high energy gamma-ray source and has remained enigmatic since its discovery because of the lack of identification. We report here deep radio observations covering the TeV J2032+4130 field and revealing for the first time an extended and diffuse radio emission, as well as a remarkable population of compact radio sources. Some of these radio sources are in positional coincidence with X-ray and optical/IR sources. Future follow-up studies of these new…

XMM-Newton observations of the first unidentified TeV gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130
Context. The first unidentified very high energy gamma ray source (TeV J2032+4130) in the Cygnus region has been the subject of intensive search for a counterpart source at other wavelengths. In…
Radio Counterparts of Gamma-Ray Sources in the Cygnus Region
The view of the gamma-ray universe is being continuously expanded by space high-energy (HE) and ground-based very-high-energy (VHE) observatories. Yet, the angular resolution limitation still…
The Molecular Environment of the Gamma-Ray Source TeV J2032+4130
The mysterious very high energy gamma-ray source, TeV J2032+4130, is coincident with the powerful Cygnus OB2 stellar association, although a physical association between the two remains uncertain. It…
Observations of the Unidentified Gamma-Ray Source TeV J2032+4130 by VERITAS
TeV J2032+4130 was the first unidentified source discovered at very high energies (VHEs; E > 100 GeV), with no obvious counterpart in any other wavelength. It is also the first extended source to be…
Radio continuum and near-infrared study of the MGRO J2019+37 region
Context. MGRO J2019+37 is an unidentified extended source of very high energy gamm a-rays originally reported by the Milagro Collaboration as the brightest TeV source in the Cygnus region. Its…
Magic observations of the unidentified γ-ray source TeV J2032+4130
