Scientific paper

We present near-infrared (NIR) observations of the luminous SN 2006gy obtained two years following explosion with the 1.3-m robotic PAIRITEL telescope in Arizona and the NIRC2 LGS adaptive optics system on Keck. Our observations began less than a month after explosion and have continued for more than two years. We discuss how these NIR observations constrain the energetics of SN 2006gy and the possibility that this event was a pair instability supernova.
