Abstract

We derive an equation of state for magnetized charge neutral nuclear matter relevant for neutron star structure. The calculations are performed within an effective chiral model based on generalization of sigma model with nonlinear self interactions of the sigma mesons along with vector mesons and a ρσ\rho-\sigma cross-coupling term. The effective chiral model is extended by introducing the contributions of strong magnetic field on the charged particles of the model. The contributions arising from the effects of magnetic field on the Dirac sea of charged baryons are also included. The resulting equation of state for the magnetized dense matter is used to investigate the neutron star properties, like, mass-radius relation and tidal deformability. The dimensionless tidal deformability of 1.4 M1.4~{M}_\odot NS is found to be Λ1.4=526\Lambda_{1.4}=526, which is consistent with recent observation of GW170817. The maximum mass of neutron star in presence of strong magnetic field is consistent with the observational constraints on mass of neutron star from PSR~ J0348 - 0432 and the radius at 1.4 M1.4~{M}_\odot mass of the neutron star is within the empirical bounds.
