The existence of stable magnetic configurations in white dwarfs, neutron stars and various non-convective stellar {regions} is now well recognized. It has recently been shown numerically that various families of equilibria, including…

We report on a study of the evolution of magnetic fields of neutron stars, driven by the expulsion of magnetic flux out of the proton superconducting core of the star. The rate of expulsion, or equivalently the velocity of outward motion of…

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 magnetic field associated with neutron stars is generally believed to be threaded inside the star. In the presence of a magnetic field, the plasma present in the interior of the star goes through several processes that lead to magnetic…

Hydrodynamic instabilities and turbulence in neutron stars have been suggested to be related to observable spin variations in pulsars, such as spin glitches, timing noise, and precession (nutation). Accounting for the stabilizing effects of…

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…
