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. Chandrasekhar and Eddington; 4. In their own words (and deeds); References; Compact stars and the evolution of binary systems E. P. J. van den Heuvel; 1. Introduction; 2.

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?
