Age[edit]

@Grimes2: The anon seems to be right, since the date of birth is unknown, so it could be +- a year - or is there a reference for age 48? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:27, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is a source. "The Swiss-born astrophysicist was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2018 and passed away at the age of 48, during the early hours of Tuesday morning." https://www.iol.co.za/capeargus/news/death-of-astrophysicist-professor-carolina-oedman-leaves-loved-ones-feeling-profound-loss-8bbf92b7-116e-424c-a58f-d98db6c2143a Grimes2 (talk) 12:32, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've applied page protection for a day to stop the edit war, and made this a bit clearer in the text. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:08, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
