Profile: Tea Temim

I am a second year graduate student working with Prof. Chick Woodward in the infrared astronomy lab. My current research involves the study of the famous Crab nebula and N49, a young supernova remnant in the LMC that is interacting with a massive dense molecular cloud. I use infrared images from the Spitzer space telescope along with images at other wavelengths to try to understand the composition, physical conditions, and the complex morphology of these supernova remnants.
