The amplification of magnetic fields plays an important role in explaining numerous astrophysical phenomena associated with binary neutron-star mergers, such as mass ejection and the powering of short gamma-ray bursts. Magnetic fields in…
We explore the properties of 4110 nuclides from Z = 5 to Z = 82 with the Sky3D code and the composition of the outer crust in the magnetars under extreme magnetic fields. The effects of the variation of the nuclear masses due to the…
We quantify the impact of strong magnetic fields (assuming $B=B_0\cdot r_0^3/r^3$ with $B_0\gtrsim 10^{16}$ G) on the neutrino transport in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). Magnetic fields quantize the momenta of electrons and positrons,…
The study of long-term evolution of neutron star (NS) magnetic fields is key to understanding the rich diversity of NS observations, and to unifying their nature despite the different emission mechanisms and observed properties. Such…
In this work, we study the effects of different magnetic field configurations in neutron stars described by a many-body forces formalism (MBF model). The MBF model is a relativistic mean field formalism that takes into account many-body…
The stability properties of newly born neutron stars, or proto--neutron stars, are considered. We take into account dissipative processes, such as neutrino transport and viscosity, in the presence of a magnetic field. In order to find the…
Neutron stars feature extremely high magnetic fields with deduced field strengths of $10^{15}$ G in the case of magnetars and potentially much higher values inside of the star. In this context we consider the appearance of $\rho^-$ meson…
We study the non--linear evolution of magnetic fields in neutron star crusts with special attention to the influence of the Hall drift. Our goal is to understand the conditions for fast dissipation due to the Hall term in the induction…

We investigate the quantum hadrodynamic equation of state for neutron stars (with and without including hyperons) in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The deduced masses and radii are consistent with recent observations of high mass…
We report on the effects of strong magnetic fields on neutrino emission in the modified Urca process. We show that the effect of Landau levels on the various Urca pairs affects the neutrino emission spectrum and leads to an angular…
We discuss torsional oscillations of highly magnetised neutron stars (magnetars) using two-dimensional, magneto-elastic-hydrodynamical simulations. Our model is able to explain both the low- and high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations…
Pulsar-like compact stars usually have strong magnetic fields, with the strength from $\sim 10^8$ to $\sim 10^{12}$ Gauss on surface. How such strong magnetic fields can be generated and maintained is still an unsolved problem, which is, in…
We study the effects of strong magnetic fields ($B> 10^{13}$~G) in the cross section for $\nu_e n\to p e$ scattering in the presence of a degenerate electron background. This can be relevant for the $\nu_e$ propagation in the proto-neutron…
The impact of the magnetic field on postbounce supernova dynamics of non-rotating stellar cores is studied by performing three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulations with spectral neutrino transport. The explodability of strongly and…
We examine the equilibrium of a magnetized neutron-star-crust. We calculate axially symmetric models in which an elastic force balances solenoidal motion driven by a Lorentz force. A large variety of equilibrium models are allowed by…

A model of the generation of a magnetic field in a neutron star is developed, based on an instability of the magnetic field caused by the electroweak interaction between electrons and nucleons in nuclear matter. The rate of change of the…
The loss of magnetic pressure accompanying the decay of the magnetic field in a magnetar may trigger exothermic electron captures by nuclei in the shallow layers of the stellar crust. Very accurate analytical formulas are obtained for the…
