Abstract
The effect of strong quantising magnetic field on low density stellar matter is investigated using Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD) model. The Wigner-Seitz cell structure is assumed for the low density matter. The significant changes in the properties of such low density matter in presence of strong magnetic fields are discussed. It is seen that the decay time scale for magnetic field decreases by at least two orders of magnitude in such model calculaion.
