Stellar Astrophysics

Stellar Astrophysics is the study of stars by means of theoretical physics and observational astronomy. Astronomy was turned into an active field of Physics by explaining stellar structure and evolution through natural laws of Physics. One novel example of such explanations is the famous Chandrashekhar limit discovered by one of the most famous astrophysicists of all time Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.
