Description
Over more than a decade, along with my group members I have been
exploring the possible violation of Chandrasekhar mass-limit significantly
and possible new mass-limit(s). They are indirectly supported by some
observations of peculiar type Ia supernovae. The potential reasons behind
such a violation could be magnetic field, modified gravity, noncommutative
spacetime etc. Many other groups also, following our initiation,
showed similar violation based on alternate physics. I will attempt
to review this topic and its evolution, based on the single degenerate
scenario.
