Microscopic origin of the magnetic field in compact stars

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

A magnetic aspect of quark matter is studied by the Fermi liquid theory. The magnetic susceptibility is derived with the one-gluon-exchange interaction, and the critical Fermi momentum for spontaneous spin polarization is found to be 1.4fm^{-1}. A scenario about the origin of the magnetic field in compact stars is presented by using this result.
