VERITAS Observations of the Cygnus Region of the Galaxy

The Cygnus region is a very active region of our Galaxy, with many sources of GeV and TeV gamma-ray emission, such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, high mass X-ray binaries and massive star clusters. A detailed study of the Cygnus region can give insight into the processes of particle acceleration in astrophysical sources. VERITAS is an array of four 12-meter diameter imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located at Mt. Hopkins, AZ, USA. From 2007 through 2012 nearly 300 hours of data was gathered in the Cygnus region, covering 67 to 83 degrees Galactic longitude and -2 to 5 degrees in Galactic latitude. An update of the Fermi-LAT and VERITAS analysis of this region is presented. In particular we examine the source and hotspot regions within the Milagro dataset covering this region and the comparison between these objects in the three different instruments.
