In astrophysics, dynamical friction or Chandrasekhar friction, sometimes called gravitational drag, is loss of momentum and kinetic energy of moving bodies through gravitational interactions with surrounding matter in space. It was first discussed in detail by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in 1943. [1] [2] [3]
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (/ ˌ tʃ ə n d r ə ˈ ʃ eɪ k ər /; [3] 19 October 1910 – 21 August 1995) [4] was an Indian-American theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to the scientific knowledge about the structure of stars, stellar evolution and black holes.
In atmospheric radiation, Chandrasekhar's X- and Y-function appears as the solutions of problems involving diffusive reflection and transmission, ...
The Chandrasekhar limit (/ ˌ tʃ ə n d r ə ˈ ʃ eɪ k ər /) [1] is the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star. The currently accepted value of the Chandrasekhar limit is about 1.4 M ☉ ( 2.765 × 10 30 kg ).
His wild prediction comes mere months after Trump became the first Republican to win the popular vote in a presidential election in two decades, making gains in more than 90% of US counties.
Good morning. Over the long weekend, I read The Friction Project, a new book out from two of my favorite business school professors, Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao of Stanford.They spent seven years ...
In the Chandrasekhar–Eddington dispute of the early 20th century, English astronomer Arthur Eddington and Indian astronomer Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar disagreed over the correct theory to describe the final stages of a star's lifecycle. During the dispute, Chandrasekhar was at the beginning of his career and Eddington was a renowned physicist ...
