Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1910–1995) was an Indian-American astrophysicist renowned for his significant contributions to the understanding of stellar evolution and the structure of stars. He is best known for his work on the Chandrasekhar limit, which is the maximum mass (approximately 1.4 times the mass of the Sun) that a white dwarf star can have before it becomes unstable and can no longer support itself against gravitational collapse.
