TL;DR: Observations of a bright X-ray flare from the extragalactic transient Swift J164449.3+573451 conclude that they have captured the onset of relativistic jet activity from a supermassive black hole.

TL;DR: Tanvir et al. as mentioned in this paper used the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, Hawaii, from about 20 minutes after the burst and arrive at z ≈ 8.2, implying that massive stars were being produced and dying as GRBs approximately 620 million years after the Big Bang.

TL;DR: Observations showing that NGC 5907 ULX is instead an x-ray accreting neutron star (NS) with a spin period evolving from 1.43 seconds in 2003 to 1.13 seconds in 2014 suggest that other extreme ULXs (x-ray luminosity ≥ 1041 erg second−1) might harbor NSs.
