Other ideas (mine):
Although the phenomenon they state could very well be the most likely cause, perhaps this is the GRB afterglow from SMBH creation. (if the galaxy from which it eminated is far enough away.) (probably not, but an idea.)

I think the SMBH idea is less likely because the redshift isn't that large (.38 or so, IIRC) so we're not talking about something at the far end of the cosmos. Unless Keirein and company are right, of course...

Keirein and company are about as likely to be right as I will be likely to convert to fundamentalst Christian. I didn't know that red shift was related to distance. (Remember, I'm a computer geek.) With that new information (for me), I'd have to say that the writers of the paper have presented the most likely explaination for the observations.
