Neutron stars contain persistent, ordered magnetic fields that are the strongest known in the Universe. However, their magnetic fluxes are similar to those in magnetic A and B stars and white dwarfs, suggesting that flux conservation during…

In this work, we study the effects of magnetic fields and rotation on the structure and composition of proto-neutron stars (PNS's). A hadronic chiral SU(3) model is applied to cold neutron stars (NS) and proto-neutron stars with trapped…
In this work, we study the effects of strong magnetic field configurations on the population of neutron stars. The stellar matter is described within a relativistic mean field formalism which considers many-body force contributions in the…
Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state of matter at extremely high densities and because…
Recent spectropolarimetric surveys of main-sequence intermediate-mass stars have exhibited a dichotomy in the distribution of the observed magnetic field between the kG dipoles of Ap/Bp stars and the sub-Gauss magnetism of Vega and Sirius.…
We examine the MHD instabilities arising in the radiation zone of a differentially rotating star, in which a poloidal field of fossil origin is sheared into a toroidal field. We focus on the non-axisymmetric instability that affects the…
Observations indicate that the magnetic fields on neutron stars (NSs) lie in the range of $10^{8}$-$10^{15}$ G. We investigate rotating NSs with chaotic magnetic fields in both general relativity (GR) and Rastall gravity (RG). The equation…
