Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was an Indian-American astrophysicist known for his groundbreaking work on the structure and evolution of stars, particularly in understanding white dwarfs and the concept of the Chandrasekhar Limit. His research demonstrated that a white dwarf cannot exceed a certain mass, around 1.4 solar masses, without undergoing catastrophic collapse, which links his work to supernova mechanisms and stellar evolution.
