Well, if you have an object that is emitting a jet of radiation from one
or both of its poles, or say, a pulsar with a rotating beam. THe object
explodes or implodes for some reason. Say a neutron star hits another
neutron star. At least one of these neutron stars is just below the
threshold to be a black hole. When they hit, the combined mass tips over
the limit to become a singularity, and they implode in a huge gush of
radiation. THere are bound to be some wild warping and tearing of
spacetime as these two rotating bodies merge. Additionally, a neutron
star is not pure neutronium. It usually has a decently thick crust of
material, typically denser than iron, as such elements have a negative
fusion energy balance. A huge rush of radiation from the implosion would
instantly fission, fuse, and possibly totally annihilate a large portion
of the crust material, creating even more radiation, while the remainder
would expand in a hugely flourescent cloud which will form a nebula,
slowly dimming over time as it expands.
