Sn 2006gy : Discovery of the most luminous supernova ever recorded, powered by the death of an extremely massive star like η carinae
Nathan Smith,Weidong Li,Ryan J. Foley,J. Craig Wheeler,David Pooley,Ryan Chornock,Alexei V. Filippenko,Jeffrey M. Silverman,Robert Quimby,Joshua S. Bloom,Charles E. Hansen +10 more
TL;DR: The Type IIn supernova (SN) 2006gy is the most luminous supernova known to date as discussed by the authors, with a peak visual magnitude of about -22, its very slow rise to maximum took ~70 days, and it stayed brighter than -21 mag for about 100 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical Formation of Close Binary Systems in Globular Clusters
David Pooley,Walter H. G. Lewin,Scott F. Anderson,Holger Baumgardt,Alexei V. Filippenko,Bryan Gaensler,Lee Homer,Piet Hut,Victoria M. Kaspi,Victoria M. Kaspi,Junichiro Makino,Bruce Margon,Steve McMillan,Simon Portegies Zwart,Michiel van der Klis,Frank Verbunt +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present conclusive observational evidence of a link between the number of close binaries observed in X-rays in a globular cluster and the stellar encounter rate of the cluster, and make an estimate of the total number of LMXBs in globular clusters in our Galaxy.

A neutron star with a massive progenitor in westerlund 1
Michael P. Muno,J. Simon Clark,Paul A. Crowther,Sean M. Dougherty,Richard de Grijs,Casey J. Law,Stephen L. W. McMillan,Mark Morris,Ignacio Negueruela,David Pooley,Simon Portegies Zwart,Farhad Yusef-Zadeh +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of an X-ray pulsar in the young, massive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1 was reported, which indicates that it is a magnetar.
