This is the fourth of six volumes collecting significant papers of
the distinguished astrophysicist and Nobel laureate S.
Chandrasekhar. His work is notable for its breadth as well as for
its brilliance; his practice has been to change his focus from time
to time to pursue new areas of research. The result has been a
prolific career full of discoveries and insights, some of which are
only now being fully appreciated.
Chandrasekhar has selected papers that trace the development of his
ideas and that present aspects of his work not fully covered in the
books he has periodically published to summarize his research in
each area.
Volume 4 has three parts. The first, on plasma physics, includes
joint work with A. N. Kaufman and K. M. Watson on the stability of
the pinch, as well as a paper on Chandrasekhar's own approach to
the topic of adiabatic invariants. Part 2 includes work with
specific scientific applications of hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic
stability not covered in his monograph on the subject. The final
part contains Chandrasekhar's papers on the scientific applications
of the tensor-virial theorem, in which he restores to its proper
place Riemann's neglected work with ellipsoidal figures.
