Above this limit, known as the  Chandrasekhar limit, stars explode in a violent supernova and collapse into a neutron star.

超过这个极限， 即所谓的钱德拉塞卡极限，恒星会以剧烈的超新星爆炸并坍缩成中子星。

Chandrasekhar calculated that a cold star of more than about one and a half times the mass of the sun would not be able to support itself against its own gravity.

Chandrasekhar 计算出一颗质量超过太阳质量一倍半的冷星将无法抵抗自身引力。
