Effects of strong magnetic fields on the population of hyperon stars
Abstract
In this contribution we study the effects of strong magnetic fields on the particle population of neutron stars with hyperon degrees of freedom in their composition. The star matter is described by a multi-component model with parameterized baryon-meson interaction couplings. We study the magnetic effects on the equation of state (EoS) due to the Landau quantization, assuming a density dependent static magnetic field that reaches about in the center of the star. The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations are solved in order to understand the dependence of the mass-radius relation and hyperon population on the magnetic field intensity assuming different interaction coupling schemes.
