THE POPULATION OF RADIO SOURCES IN THE FIELD OF THE UNIDENTIFIED γ-RAY SOURCE TeV J2032+4130
نویسنده
چکیده
TeV J2032+4130 is the first extended very high energy gamma-ray source, which has remained enigmatic since its discovery, due to 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 radio sources will likely contribute to solve the mystery of this extended unidentified TeV source.

Search for a Point-Source Counterpart of the Unidentified Gamma-Ray Source TeV J2032+4130 in Cygnus
We have made a multiwavelength study of the overlapping error boxes of the unidentified γ-ray sources TeV J2032+4130 and 3EG J2033+4118 in the direction of the Cygnus OB2 association (d = 1.7 kpc) in order to search for a pointsource counterpart of the first unidentified TeV source. Optical identifications and spectroscopic classifications for the brighter X-ray sources in ROSAT PSPC and Chandr...
متن کاملTransient X-ray sources in the field of the Unidentified Gamma-Ray Source TeV J2032+4130 in Cygnus
We present an analysis of Chandra ACIS observations of the field of TeV J2032+4130, the first unidentified TeV source, detected serendipitously by HEGRA. This deep (48.7 ksec) observation of the field follows up on an earlier 5 ksec Chandra director’s discretionary observation. Of the numerous point-like X-ray sources in the field, the brightest are shown to be a mixture of early and late-type ...
متن کاملThe New Unidentified TeV Source in Cygnus (TeV J2032+4130): HEGRA IACT-System Results
The first unidentified TeV source in Cygnus is confirmed by follow-up observations carried out in 2002 with the HEGRA stereoscopic system of Čerenkov Telescopes. Using all ∼279 hrs of data, this new source TeV J2032+4130, is steady over the four years of data taking, is extended with radius 6.2′, and has a hard spectrum with photon index −1.9. Its location places it at the edge of the core of t...

The first unidentified TeV source in the Cygnus region is confirmed by follow-up observations carried out in 2002 with the HEGRA stereoscopic system of air Cherenkov telescopes. Using the combined 279 h of data, this new source TeV J2032+4130, appears to be steady in flux over the four years of data taking, it shows an extension with radius 6.20, and has a hard spectrum with photon index 1:9 be...
متن کاملMagic Observations of the Unidentified Γ-ray Source Tev
We observed the first known very high energy (VHE) γ-ray emitting unidentified source, TeV J2032+4130, for 94 hours with the MAGIC telescope. The source was detected with a significance of 5.6σ. The flux, position, and angular extension are compatible with the previous ones measured by the HEGRA telescope system five years ago. The integral flux amounts to (4.5±0.3stat±0.35sys)×10 −13 ph cm s a...
