Answer
Chandrasekhar was an Indian astrophysicist who developed a theory explaining the structure of white dwarf stars. White dwarf stars are stars that have exhausted their fuel and collapsed under their own gravity. They are very dense, with a mass similar to that of the Sun but a radius only about the size of the Earth.
