Your question about pulsars is a good one and I'll answer it first, but the study at the top is about quasars, and I'll address that further below. With one exception all known pulsars are in the Milky Way; they are too intrinsically dim (and obscured by dust, much of which is local to them, produced in their progenitor star's explosive demise) to see them at extragalactic distances. The exception is PSR J0540-6919 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (the LMC, a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way), which is atypically bright in gamma rays and so is visible to the Fermi-GLAST telescope in low Earth…
