40 ... there is no such thing as relativistic degeneracy

41 [Chandrasekhar] was a classical applied mathematician whose research was primarily applied in astronomy and whose like will probably never be seen again.

42 He was a great scientist, an accomplished teacher and a formidable scholar.

43 "I discovered what true mathematical elegance is from Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar."

44 "Chandrasekhar was one of the great astrophysicists of our time. He was also the greatest master of the English language that I know."

45 It is my privilege and pleasure to convey to you the warmest congratulations of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. May I now ask you to come forward and receive your prize from the hands of His Majesty the King.

112 The value of this limit is about 1.44 times a solar mass. This was derived by Chandrasekhar in 1930, when he was a student. The Chandrasekhar Limit plays a crucial role in understanding the stellar evolution. If the mass of a star exceeded this limit, the star would not become a white dwarf. It would continue to collapse under the extreme pressure of gravitational forces. The formulation of the Chandrasekhar Limit led to the discovery of neutron stars and black holes

114 It is an important dimensionless number of magnetohydrodynamics,

115 The major work done by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar includes: theory of Brownian motion ( ); theory of the illumination and the polarization of the sunlit sky ( ); theory of the illumination and the polarization of the sunlit sky ( ); the equilibrium and the stability of ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium, partly in collaboration with Norman R. Lebovitz ( ); the general theory of relativity and relativistic astrophysics ( ); and the mathematical theory of black holes ( ).
