She discovered around 150 new nebulae and was posthumously honored for her discovery of the minor planet 2388 Gase and the Gaze Crater on Venus, both of which are named after her.
[4] Between 1936 and 1940, Gaze was a victim of "political repression",[5] which stemmed from an incident bringing unfavorable publicity to the Pulkovo Observatory.
In 1935, she had discovered that a report she had been given to translate into English, made by Nikolai Mikhailovich, Voronov contained errors in its calculations.
[9] In 1952 Gaze and Shajn published a book together entitled, Some results of the study of diffuse gaseous nebulae and their attitude to cosmogony.
[10] Gaze died on 3 October 1954 in Leningrad and was buried at the memorial cemetery for astronomers, near the Pulkovo Observatory outside Saint Petersburg.
