Aina Margareta Elvius is a Swedish astronomer. She was born June 26, 1917.[1]

Affiliations

Elvius has been a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences since 1975.[2]

She is currently an inactive member of the International Astronomical Union.[3] During her time as an active member, she published her work with them. She previously held four different membership positions:[4]

  • Member of Division VI Interstellar Matter (until 2012)
  • Member of Division VIII Galaxies & the Universe (until 212)
  • Member of Commissions 28 Galaxies (until 2015)
  • Member of Commissions 34 Interstellar Matter (until 2015)

Works

Articles

Elvius's first publications were articles she co-authored with John S. Hall and published in the Lowell Observer, a quarterly newsletter of Lowell Observatory.[5] The first was an article published in 1964 titled "Polarimetric observations of NGC 5128 (Cent A) and other extragalactic objects."[6] It was followed two years later in 1966 by "Observations of the color and polarization of the reflection nebulae NGC 2068, NCG 7023 and the Merope Nebula obtained in three spectral regions."[7] Their next article was "Observations of polarization and color in the nebulosity associated with the Pleiades cluster," which was published on September 8, 1967.[8]

Elvius co-authored an article with Hannes Alfvén that was published in Science Magazine.[9] The article, "Antimatter, Quasi-stellar Objects, and the Evolution of Galaxies," was published on May 23, 1969.[10]

In January 1972, Elvius published an article in the Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union called "A Matter-Antimatter Model for Quasi-Stellar Objects."[11] The following year, in January 1973, she published another article with the journal titled, "Polarization of Light by Dust in Galaxies."[12] Another year later, in January 1974, she and two other authors published the article "The Low Density Symmetric Cosmology" with the same journal.[13]

Books

Elvius wrote From Plasma to Planet: Proceedings (Nobel Symposium) and had it published by John Wiley & Sons Inc in 1972.[14] The book is about the Nobel Symposium held in Saltsjöbaden, Sweden from September 6-10, 1971. Three of the topic covered in the book are plasma, interstellar matter, and solar systems.[15]
