Tarmo Oja

Tarmo Oja (born December 21, 1934 in Tallinn, Estonia) is a professor in astronomy at Uppsala University[1] who studies galactic structure and variable stars. He was the director at the Swedish Kvistaberg Station of the Uppsala Observatory from 1970 until his retirement in 1999.

As a senior professor he continued his observations (work) at the observatory at Kvistaberg until the spring of 2006, when he moved (back) to Uppsala together with his wife Silvi.

Awards and honors

In 2001, Estonian President Lennart Meri awarded Oja the Order of the White Star V Class for his contribution to science. The asteroid 5080 Oja, discovered at the Kvistaberg Station, was named in his honor in 1992.[2]

gollark: Also, for shielding-type stuff, could you not make it so that radiation-emitting blocks have radiation output reduced by lead or something nearby?
gollark: HECf reactors will still need crazy amounts of scrubbers, though.
gollark: If so, I expect reactors to eventually have their power output contain a "- stupid amount of power to scrubbers" note.
gollark: *Can* you run multiple scrubbers per chunk?
gollark: I think you should implement a minimum, though.
