Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- A gamma-ray emitter in the Large Magellanic Cloud has left astronomers unsure what powers it.
- The emitter lies within the remnant of a supernova that created a compact object now part of the system.
- The supernova remnant provides some evidence about the source, according to Universe Today's report on ALMA observations of a jet of cool gas from a microquasar.

## Why it matters

The study links a gamma-ray source to a microquasar jet, which helps narrow down what drives high-energy emission from compact-object systems.
