Biography of subrahmanyan chandrasekhar theory

Indian-American physicist ()

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (;^[3] 19 October – 21 August )^[4] was an Indian-Americantheoretical physicist who made significant contributions to the scientific knowledge about the structure of stars, stellar evolution and black holes.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics along with William A. Fowler for theoretical studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of the stars. His mathematical treatment of stellar evolution yielded many of the current theoretical models of the later evolutionary stages of massive stars and black holes.^[5][6] Many concepts, institutions and inventions, including the Chandrasekhar limit and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, are named after him.^[7]

Chandrasekhar worked on a wide variety of problems in physics during his lifetime, contributing to the contemporary understanding of stellar structure, white dwarfs, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar - Biography, Facts and Pictures JOZO
