Answer
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was an Indian astrophysicist who made significant contributions to Theory of black holes. He is best known for his work on the Chandrasekhar limit, which is the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star. If a white dwarf exceeds this mass, it will collapse under its own gravity and form a black hole.
