text:
David J. Asher is a British astronomer, who works at the Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland. He studied mathematics at Cambridge and received his doctorate from Oxford. He is known for the meteor research that he conducts with Robert McNaught.
In 1999 and 2000, they accurately gauged when the Leonids meteor shower would peak, while underestimating the peak intensities. The Mars-crosser asteroid 6564 Asher, discovered by Robert McNaught in 1992, was named in his honor.
