[Chandrasekhar] was a classical applied mathematician whose research was primarily applied in astronomy and whose like will probably never be seen again.
He was a great scientist, an accomplished teacher and a formidable scholar.
"I discovered what true mathematical elegance is from Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar."
"Chandrasekhar was one of the great astrophysicists of our time. He was also the greatest master of the English language that I know."

Presentation Speech by Professor Sven Johansson of the Royal Academy of Sciences
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
Columbia
It is an important dimensionless number of magnetohydrodynamics,
The major work done by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar includes: theory of Brownian motion (1938-1943); theory of the illumination and the polarization of the sunlit sky (1943-1950); theory of the illumination and the polarization of the sunlit sky (1943-1950); the equilibrium and the stability of ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium, partly in collaboration with Norman R. Lebovitz (1961-1968); the general theory of relativity and relativistic astrophysics (1962-1971); and the mathematical theory of black holes (1974-1983).
