Elisabetta Caffau is an astronomer who discovered a 13-billion-year-old, [1] low mass, [2] dwarf star named SDSS J102915+172927, [3] or Caffau's Star [4] in 2011. [5] She earned a PhD in observational astronomy from the Paris Observatory in 2009 and completed a one-year post-doctoral program there as well. [6] She received the Gliese fellowship Grant [7] in 2010 and was awarded the Merac Prize for the Best Early Career Researcher by the European Astronomical Society in 2013. [8]
