Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar had recently graduated from Presidency College, Madras, India, and was accepted for as scholarship at University of Cambridge. During his boat trip to England, without knowing of Stoner and Anderson's work, worked a more sophisticated stellar model based on Ralph H. Fowler work, in which he also noticed that due to relativistic constraints a white dwarf could not surpass a certain mass. He published his model in 1930.
