Chandrasekhar K. S.

Chandrasekhar K. S. was an Indian astrophysicist renowned for his work on stellar physics and the structure of stars. He is best known for developing the Chandrasekhar limit, which determines the maximum mass a white dwarf star can have before collapsing into a denser object like a neutron star or black hole. His research has greatly advanced our understanding of stellar evolution and the life cycles of stars. Chandrasekhar's contributions earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983, and his work continues to influence astrophysics today.
