She was later invited by John Scotville Hall to work at the Lowell Observatory, where she made a series of observations of the polarization of light from galaxies and from nebulae in the Milky Way.
In 1960, she received a doctoral degree at Uppsala University and then a post at the Swedish Science Research Council.
"[8] Their next article was "Observations of polarization and color in the nebulosity associated with the Pleiades cluster," which was published on 8 September 1967.
[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.
