Astronomers were able to prove that mikrokvazary can be a source of high-energy gamma radiation, said at NASA. Article scientists appeared in the journal Science.

Mikrokvazary a binary system, which include a normal star and black hole or neutron star. The compact object in steals star matter, which falls on it, radiating in different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. This characteristic radiation characteristic radiation like quasars - active nuclei of galaxies removed (and hence came the term "mikrokvazar).

As part of the new astrophysics studied object Cygnus X-3, open in 60 of the last century. The system consists of a compact object of unknown (ie, researchers do not know if this neutron star or black hole) and giant stars, which belongs to a class of stars Wolf-Raye. For the latter characterized by high svitymist and temperature on the surface.
