Niche question for astronomers & historians of astronomy, particularly those at Harvard perhaps.
Can anyone tell me the birth & death dates of Edith F. Reilly, who worked with Bart Bok in the 1940's & co-authored the discovery paper on "small dark nebulae", now called "Bok globules"?
I've looked online, but have drawn a blank. They'd be good to have for my book.
