> Sounds like a pulsar It doesn't, really. And it's almost certainly not one. Practically all known pulsars are in our galaxy, and the known extragalactic one is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a sattelite of the Milky Way; observations of this LFBOT support a source in a more distant galaxy. The "B" and "O" in LFBOT are for "blue optical", indicating where in the elecgromagnetic spectrum its luminosity is concentrated. Pulsars are radio variables; "radio" is what the "r" is for. Some pulsars (Vela, Crab) are surrounded by material that can obscure radio emissions and promote higher…
