The maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star is called as Chandrasekhar mass limit. The limit was initially published by Wilhelm Anderson and E. C. Stoner and was named after the Indian-American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. An online Chandrasekhar mass calculator calculates the mass limit of the celestial bodies using the values of solar mass.
The acceptable range of Chandrasekhar mass is 1.4 times the mass of the sun. Any white dwarf with less than this mass will stay a white dwarf forever, while a star that exceeds this mass limit will end its life.
