PSR J2032 + 4127 , sometimes abbreviated as J2032 , is a pulsar . It is accompanied by a massive Be star named MT91 213 (also 2MASS J20321312 + 4127243 ). The system is located in the constellation Cygnus at a distance of about 1.4 kpc (~ 4570 al ) from the Sun 6 . The system is part of the Cygnus OB 2 association .
It is expected that the coming together of the two stars in early 2018 will generate high-energy phenomena.[1]
