Chandrasekhar limit is the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star. If the white dwarf core reaches a mass above that limit, which is about 1,44 times the solar mass, the electron degeneracy pressure is insuffcient to balance the gravitational self-attraction of the collapsing dead star and it can end up as a neutron star or even into a black hole if the mass is high enough.
