Fine copy. __+__ "A Nobel Laureate [awarded in 1983 "for his theoretical studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of the stars"] honored for his extraordinarily wide-ranging contributions to physics, astrophysics, and applied mathematics, Chandrasekhar is well known for his discovery of the limiting mass (Chandrasekhar limit) of a star that could become a white dwarf."--Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography, online. __+__ "In 1938, Weizsäcker developed a theory on the formation of the Solar System, based on considerations regarding the unequal share of lighter and heavier elements in the Sun and the Solar System's terrestrial planets.According to the theory, the Sun and its planets evolved from a gas cloud made up of 99% hydrogen and helium, and 1% of heavier elements. Some 10% of the cloud remained around the Sun as an extensive atmosphere during an initial phase, and the 1% of heavier elements within this 10% of the total mass of the cloud would tally with the fraction of roughly 1% that the planets contribute to the mass of the Solar System today."--Wikipedia __+__ Also: a 2pp paper of corrections by Einstein and E.G. Straus "The Influence of the Expansion of Space on the Gravitation Fields Surrounding the Individual Stars", pp 148-9.  .

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. The Density of White Dwarf Stars in the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science , London, Taylor and Francis, 1931, series seven, volume 11, pp. 592 596. Bound with: E. C. Stoner, A Note on Condensed Stars pp. 986 995. Offered in the full volume of vii, 1264 pp, with 15 plates. This is a very stout volume, half-calf and marbled decorated boards, with reinforced hinges, making this very usable. There is some bit of scuffing to the raised bands, otherwise a FINE copy. [++] Chandrasekhar and Stoner each calculate the maximum mass of a white dwarf star (the hot, dense remnants of stars that have used up their nuclear fuel and the final stage of evolution for most stars) in a fully relativistic manner. [++] The Chandrasekhar limit is the maximum mass a white dwarf star can have and still remain a white dwarf. The limit is about 1.4 solar masses, or 2.765×1030 kg. If a white dwarf star exceeds this limit, it will turn into a neutron star or a black hole. --L. F. Bates, Edmund Clifton Stoner, 1899 1968 , Biographical mem-oirs of Fellows of the Royal . [++] E. C. Stoner and F. Tyler, A note on condensed stars , Philosophical magazine, xi (1931), 986 93 [the paper offered here]. In this paper the authors did not obtain the energy minimum for the extreme relativistic equation state by taking density distribution for the n = 3 polytropic solution. This calculation leads to the same value for the critical mass obtained by Chandrasekhar. But Stoner s condition that the derivative of the energy with respect to the central density is zero, is satisfied because the energy itself also vanishes in this limit. These subtle mathematical issues may have been the reason why the authors did not attempt to do this calculation Michael Nauenbery, Edmund C. Stoner and the Discovery of the Maximum Mass of White Dwarfs, University of California, Santa Cruz.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. xiv, 393 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine. The International Series of Monographs on Physics. Inscribed: 'For Lalitha/From Chandra/1950 March 2/L'. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1983 was divided equally between Subramanyan Chandrasekhar 'for his theoretical studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of the stars' and William Alfred Fowler 'for his theoretical and experimental studies of the nuclear reactions of importance in the formation of the chemical elements in the universe.' 'Lalitha Chandrasekhar was born in Egmore, India, a suburb of Madras, on Oct. 15, 1910. She and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar were fellow students in the physics department at the University of Madras between 1927 and 1929. She received her B.A. honors degree in physics (the U.S. equivalent of a master's degree) in 1930 and her Licentiate in Teaching degree in 1931 from the Lady Willingdon Training College in Madras. For a year, she taught physics, chemistry and mathematics at the National High School in Madras. She married Subrahamyan Chandrasekhar on Sept. 11, 1936. Mrs. Chandrasekhar attended most of the lectures her husband delivered in various parts of the world during his long career. She shared a keen lifelong interest in music with her husband and would often sing to him. Mrs. Chandrasekhar also plays the vina, an Indian stringed instrument, and the flute' ('Opening Reception Celebrating the 100th birthday of Lalitha Chandrasekhar', Chicago Physics Department Web Site).
