The Cygnus Bubble's ultra-high-energy gamma-ray emission above 400 TeV is physically more consistent with a microquasar halo around Cygnus X-3 than with the Cygnus OB2 star-forming region.

AGILE archival data reveal gamma-ray flares from a source matching IGR J17354-3255, with orbital phase correlation supporting physical association and high-energy emission from SFXTs.
17-year Fermi-LAT observations detect GeV excesses in SS 433's W50 nebula whose spectra and positions suggest acceleration of cosmic-ray protons in microquasar outflows, potentially the first such evidence.
SWGO is proposed as a wide-field VHE gamma-ray survey instrument with a compact inner detector array and sparser outer array, estimated at 54M USD construction cost and full operations by 2026.
