Investigation of the double-lobed sources of the Cygnus constellation
  core
  We present a collection of double-lobed sources towards a 20 sq deg area of
the Cygnus region at the northern sky, observed at 325 and 610~MHz with the
Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. The 10'' resolution achieved at 325 MHz is 5.5
times better than previous studies, while at 610~MHz these are the first
results ever of such a large area, mapped with 6'' angular resolution. After a
thorough visual inspection of the images at the two bands, we found 43
double-lobed source candidates, proposed as such due to the presence of two
bright peaks, within a few arcminutes apart, joined by a bridge or a central
nucleus. All but two are presented here as double-lobed candidates for the
first time. Thirty-nine of the candidates were covered at both bands, and we
provide the spectral index information for them. We have searched for
positional coincidences between the detected sources/components and other
objects from the literature, along the electromagnetic spectrum. Twenty-three
candidates possess radio counterpart(s), 12 present infrared counterparts, and
one showed an overlapping X-ray source. We analysed each candidate considering
morphology, counterparts, and spectral indices. Out of the 43 candidates, 37
show characteristics compatible with an extragalactic nature, two of probably
Galactic origin, three remain as dubious cases, though with feature(s)
compatible with an extragalactic nature, and the remaining one, evidence of
physically unrelated components. The median spectral index of the 40 putative
extragalactic sources is -1.0. Their celestial surface density at 610~MHz
resulted in 1.9 per sq deg, across a region lying at the Galactic plane.
