The origin of a fast radio burst in this type of dwarf galaxy suggests a connection to other energetic events that occur in similar dwarf galaxies, said co-author and UC Berkeley astronomer Casey Law, who led development of the data - acquisition system and created the analysis software to search for rapid, one - off bursts.

Although the origin of the gamma rays is still being investigated, their discovery suggests the flaring behaviour of Cygnus X-3 is an even better analogue to that of quasars and other types of flaring galaxies known as «active galactic nuclei» (AGN) than previously thought.
