GCU7, a bright X-ray and optical source in a globular cluster in NGC 1399, is best explained as a young neutron star accreting from a helium white dwarf, not an intermediate-mass black hole tidally disrupting a star.

Spectral Insights and Evolutionary Pathways of Globular Cluster ULX in NGC 1399: A Two-Decade X-ray and Optical Study
GCU7, a bright X-ray and optical source in a globular cluster in NGC 1399, is best explained as a young neutron star accreting from a helium white dwarf, not an intermediate-mass black hole tidally disrupting a star.
