[edit] Is this notable?

The only person to use this unit seems to be Gerry Brown, who invented it. Please, add references to works of multiple other authors where this unit is used. If they do not exist, then this is a non-notable neologism that should be deleted. Awolf002 12:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree that it hovers at the margin of notability. However, a quick Google search on +foe supernova reveals:

  1. Bethe, H. A. 1993, "SN 1987A - an empirical and analytic approach", ApJ, 412, 192-202
  2. Hartmann, D. 1999, "Perspective: Afterglows from the largest explosions in the universe", Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 96, 4752-4755

Oh well, I guess if it's good enough for Hans Bethe, it's good enough for Wikipedia. Mordecai-Mark Mac Low 00:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
