Ejection nebula of supernova Cassiopeia A does not expand evenly

A press release about the shock dynamics of Cassiopeia A has been published on astronomie.nl. The article is based on the recent findings in the paper “The forward and reverse shock dynamics of Cassiopeia A” by Jacco Vink et al. (accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal, preprint).
