Chandrasekhar limit
(astronomy) The maximum theoretical mass of a white dwarf, approximately 1.4 solar masses.
As the white dwarf's mass approaches the Chandrasekhar limit, its central density increases, and, as a result of compressional heating, its temperature also increases. Source: Internet
Mass transfer in a binary system may cause an initially stable white dwarf to surpass the Chandrasekhar limit. Source: Internet
Since the observation of the Champagne Supernova in 2003, more very bright type Ia supernovae have been observed that are thought to have originated from white dwarfs whose masses exceeded the Chandrasekhar limit. Source: Internet
