Abstract:
The Cygnus region of the sky is extremely
rich in stars at different evolutionary stages. However, large
clouds absorb much of its optical emission, and in the mean time
let radio waves traverse. High-energy sources without a known
counterpart at other wavelengths are also common in Cygnus. We
carried out a survey of \sim 15 sq degrees with the Giant Radio
Metrewave Telescope at Khodad, India, at low frequencies to
unveil the nature of those unidentified sources and to assess
whether stellar objects can be a relevant explanation
