Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar contributed significantly to the body of knowledge in the fields of physics and astrophysics, winning the 1983 Nobel for his black hole mathematical theory. He helped develop modern understanding of stellar evolution, calculated the degeneracy pressure associated with white dwarves which led to the Chandresekhar limit (maximum mass of white dwarf stars) being named after him. He also did significant work with gravitation within the framework of general relativity, galactic and stellar structure and dynamics, and quantum theory.
