The GeV emission zone in Cygnus X-3 is too large and magnetized too weakly to accelerate protons to PeV energies, so the PeV gamma rays must originate from a more compact inner region with rapid magnetic field dissipation.

A census of ~3600 variable compact radio sources at 3 GHz from VLASS epochs 1 and 2, with 5-9% showing >30% flux changes above 20-300 mJy and most consistent with blazars or quasars.
