With further study, we think we can determine just which way it is moving, and thus help answer the question of just how these gas clouds in the central
regions of active galaxies are behaving.»

The leading suspects in the half - century old mystery

The top candidates, the astronomers suggested, are a neutron star, possibly a highly - magnetic magnetar, surrounded by either material ejected by a supernova explosion or material ejected by a resulting pulsar, or an

region surrounding a supermassive black hole.
In
active galaxies, a
region near the center produces enormous amounts
of emission across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

In
galaxies like the Milky Way, dense gas traced by HCN but composed mainly
of hydrogen molecules is always associated with
regions of active star formation.

regions surrounding massive black holes at the centers
of galaxies.
Another idea floating around is that FRBs are emitted by
active galactic nuclei, or AGNs — superluminous

of some
galaxies.
