Chandrasekhar adalah pegawai di Ballistic Research Laboratory di Aberdeen Proving Ground,Maryland selamaPD II.
Ia meneliti dan menulis sejumlah buku penting mengenaistruktur danevolusi bintang, sifat-sifat dinamis kluster dan galaksi bintang, transfer energi radiasi, stabilitashidrodinamika danhidromagnetika, stabilitas bilangan persamaan ellips, dan teorimatematislubang hitam. Ia juga bekerja padaastrofisika relativistik, danbuku terakhirnya adalah Newton's Principia for the Common Reader. Ia mengeditAstrophysical Journal selama hampir 20tahun. Ia terkenal atas cintanya pada keanggunan dan presisi matematika.
