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: 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.

TL;DR: The magnetar population may include objects with a wider range of B-field strengths, ages, and evolutionary stages than observed so far, implying that this population is wider than was previously thought.
