Origin of Strong Magnetic Fields of Magnetars

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2016-12-15 v1

Abstract

Since there is 3P2 neutron superfluid in neutron star interior, it can be treated as a system of magnetic dipoles. Under the presence of background magnetic field, the magnetic dipoles tend to align in the same direction. When the temperature is lower than 10**7K, the strong magnetic fields of the magnetars may originate from the induced magnetic moment of the 3P2 neutron Cooper pairs in the anisotropic neutron superfluid. And this gives a convenient explanation of the strong magnetic field of magnetars.
