Abstract
The paper estimates the flux of PeV neutrinos from magnetar polar caps, assuming that ions/protons are injected, and accelerated in these regions and interact with the radiative background. The present study takes into account the effect of the photon splitting mechanisms that should modify the radiative background, and enhance the neutrino flux at PeV energies, with a view to explain the PeV neutrino events detected in IceCube. The results indicate that in near future, a possibility of any significant excess of neutrino events from a magnetar in Milky Way is extremely low.
