Description
We have started a programme with Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) to survey the Cygnus OB2 region at 325 and 610 MHz. The Cygnus OB2 region is rich with a wide variety of sources across the electromagnetic spectrum such as protostars, young massive stars, X-ray sources, unidentified VHE sources, colliding wind binaries, shells, bubbles, shocks, etc. Frequencies below 1 GHz trace the non-thermal emission and GMRT offers good resolution and sensitivity at these frequencies. This survey, in combination with available multi-wavelength data, will help us to characterise thermal - non-thermal emission in galactic radio sources.
