	Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (Lahore now in Pakistan, October 19, 1910 – August 21, 1995, Chicago, Illinois, United States) was an Indian-American physicist, astrophysicist and mathematician, known to the world as Chandra, who was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physics.
		Chandrasekhar was the nephew of Nobel-prize winning physicist C.
		Chandrasekhar had most of his school career and his entire college career in Madras (now Chennai), having attended the PS High School and then the Presidency College from which he graduated with a degree in physics.

	Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
		Born in Lahore, then a part of British Colonial India, in 1910, theoretical astrophysicist Chandrasekhar was elected to the Academy only two years after he became a US citizen in 1953.
		Chandrasekhar was noted for his work in the field of stellar evolution, and in the early 1930s he was the first to theorize that a collapsing massive star would become an object so dense that not even light could escape it.
		In addition to his work on star degeneration, Chandrasekhar contributed important theorems on the stability of cosmic masses in the presence of gravitation, rotation, and magnetic fields; this work proved to be crucial for the understanding of the spiral structure of galaxies.

		Chandrasekhar was the nephew of Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930.
		Chandrasekhar determined what is known as the Chandrasekhar limit--that a star having a mass more than 1.44 times that of the Sun does not form a white dwarf but instead continues to collapse, blows off its gaseous envelope in a supernova explosion, and becomes a neutron star.
		Chandrasekhar was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1953 and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society in 1962.

		Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1910-1995), American theoretical astrophysicist and Nobel laureate, who contributed greatly to the current understanding of stellar evolution.
		Although Chandrasekhar worked on theories of radiative transfer and convective transport of heat in stellar atmospheres, his most important studies concerned the small, dim, hot, dense stars known as white dwarfs (see Star).
		The Chandra X-ray Observatory, a powerful X-ray telescope named after Chandrasekhar, was launched by the United States into Earth’s orbit from a space shuttle in 1999.

		Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was a creative, prolific genius whose ability to combine mathematical precision with physical insight changed humanity's view of stellar physics.
		His most famous discovery was that not all stars end up as white dwarf stars, but those retaining mass above a certain limit - today known as "Chandrasekhar's limit," undergo further collapse.
		His detailed mathematical papers and books on a wide variety of astrophysical subjects, including, for example, fl holes, are classic references for research at every level.
