New ideas confront the old order From stellar structure to Shakespeare; References; Chandrasekhar and the legacy of Ramanujan G. Srinivasan; 1. Introduction; 2. Ramanujan Institute; 3. The Goddess of Namakkal; 4. The Lost Notebook; 5. Ramanujan as an inspiration; Chandra's influence on Indian astronomy Jayant V. Narlikar; 1. Introduction; 2. The 1930's and 1940's; 3. Alumni of Osmania University; 4. Indian graduate students; 5. From white dwarfs to neutron stars and the Sun; 6. Antonov instability; 7. Concluding remarks; References; Chandrasekhar and the history of astronomy Virginia Trimble 1. The fate of famous scientists 2. Degenerate stars, or, who discovered the Chandrasekhar limit?; 3.

Type Ia supernova scenarios; 2.1 The Single Degenerate model and its problems; 2.2 The relative importance of the SD and the DD scenarios for the Type Ia SN rate in galaxies 3. Formation processes for neutron stars in binaries: Evidence for two different NS formation mechanisms, yielding different neutron star masses and kick velocities 3.1 Two classes of B-emission X-ray binaries; 3.2 Double neutron stars and their formation history: evidence that low kick velocities are related to low neutron star masses; 3.3 A correlation between a small velocity kick and a low mass of the neutron star in double neutron star systems; 3.4 Formation mechanisms of neutron stars and possible resulting kicks; 3.5 Why are there no low-velocity, young, single radio pulsars? 3.6 Consequences for the occurrence of neutron star formation by Accretion-Induced Collapse (AIC)3.7 Massive neutron stars in binaries: A third type of neutron star?; 3.8 Discussion; some further consequences of the model; 3.9 Summary; Acknowledgments; References; Stability of relativistic stars John L. Friedman and Nikolaos Stergioulas; 1. Introduction; 2. Action and canonical energy; 3. Local stability; 3.1 Convective instability due to differential rotation: The Solberg criterion; 4.
