Question

Briefly explain Chandrashekhar limit in your own words..

(I really don't need copied answer ❌)​

Answer 1

${\huge{\boxed{\sf{\pink{❥⭐ Answer ⭐}}}}}$

The Chandrasekhar Limit of 1.4 solar masses, is the theoretical maximum mass a white dwarf star can have and still remain a white dwarf (though this limit does vary slightly depending on the metallicity). Above this mass, electron degeneracy pressure is not enough to prevent gravity from collapsing the star further into a neutron star or black hole.

The limit is named after the Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, who first proposed the idea in 1931.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Chandrasekhar limit is the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star. Consequently, a white dwarf with a mass greater than the limit is subject to further gravitational collapse..
