Professor of astrophysics / planetary science / meteoritics at Arizona State University.https://bsky.app/profile/deschscoveries.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/deschscoveries.bsky.social/post/3mzflvwind22jI love this image of the Crab! Allison was my student and I am a co-author on her thesis paper examining asymmetries in the nebula. Although we like to think this is the supernova ejecta, almost all that mass is outside this field of view. What we see is the pulsar wind nebula expanding into it.

I got the ball rolling a year ago. Tim McCoy was instrumental and Allison McGraw helped. We got two asteroids named, thanks to discoverer Bobby Bus: (14330) Tomlehrer and (14331) Alyankovic. Two of my musical heroes, as you can tell from the citations I wrote.
