However, 240 pointlike X-ray sources are detected within or nearby the extended TeV J2032+4130 source region, of which at least 36 are massive stars and two may be radio emitters. That the HEGRA source is a composite, having as a counterpart the multiple pointlike X-ray sources that are observed, cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the distribution of pointlike X-ray sources appears nonuniform and concentrated broadly within the extent of the TeV source region. A hypothesis is offered for the origin of the very high energy gamma-ray emission in Cyg OB2 based on the local acceleration of TeV-range cosmic rays and the differential distribution of OB versus less massive stars in this association. The region of TeV J2032+4130 was observed by Chandra on 2004 July 12 for a total effective exposure time of 48,728 seconds using the Advanced CCD Imaging Specrometer imaging array (ACIS-I). The observation was centered on J2000.0 coordinates (RA, Dec) = )20 32 07.0, +41 30 30). This table contains the list of the 240 pointlike sources which were detected in the ACIS-I data and their 2MASS near-IR counterparts, if any are found within 3" of the X-ray sources. 130 (54%) of the 240 X-ray sources have 2MASS counterparts within these error radii. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the electronic version of Table 1 from the above reference which was obtained from the ApJ website.
