About: Chandrasekhar's white dwarf equation

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In astrophysics, Chandrasekhar's white dwarf equation is an initial value ordinary differential equation introduced by the Indian American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, in his study of the gravitational potential of completely degenerate white dwarf stars. The equation reads as with initial conditions where measures the density of white dwarf, is the non-dimensional radial distance from the center and is a constant which is related to the density of the white dwarf at the center. The boundary of the equation is defined by the condition

dbo:abstract
  • In astrophysics, Chandrasekhar's white dwarf equation is an initial value ordinary differential equation introduced by the Indian American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, in his study of the gravitational potential of completely degenerate white dwarf stars. The equation reads as with initial conditions where measures the density of white dwarf, is the non-dimensional radial distance from the center and is a constant which is related to the density of the white dwarf at the center. The boundary of the equation is defined by the condition such that the range of becomes . This condition is equivalent to saying that the density vanishes at . (en)
