B. D. O. A. Chandrasekhar

B. D. O. A. Chandrasekhar was an influential Indian astrophysicist known for his groundbreaking work in the field of stellar dynamics and black holes. He significantly contributed to our understanding of how stars form, evolve, and ultimately collapse into black holes. Chandrasekhar is best known for the Chandrasekhar Limit, which defines the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star. If a white dwarf exceeds this limit, it can collapse into a neutron star or black hole. His research earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983, highlighting his importance in modern astrophysics.
