In this work we explore the evolution of magnetic fields inside strongly magnetized neutron stars in axisymmetry. We model numerically the coupled field evolution in the core and the crust. Our code models the Hall drift and Ohmic effects…
During very early age of neutron stars, the core cools down faster compared to the crust creating a large thermal gradient in the interior of the star. During $10-100$ years, a cooling wave propagates from the core to the crust causing the…
We examine to what extent the inferred surface temperature of magnetars in quiescence can constrain the presence of a superfluid in the neutron star core and the role of magnetic field decay in the core. By performing detailed simulations…
In this paper, we consider the effect of Landau levels on the decay of superhigh magnetic fields of magnetars. Applying ${}^3P_2$ anisotropic neutron superfluid theory yield a second-order differential equation for a superhigh magnetic…
The presence of superconducting and superfluid components in the core of mature neutron stars calls for the rethinking of a number of key magnetohydrodynamical notions like resistivity, the induction equation, magnetic energy and…

In this paper, we modify our previous research carefully, and derive a new expression of electron energy density in superhigh magnetic fields. Based on our improved model, we re-compute the electron capture rates and the magnetic fields'…
Ultramagnetized neutron stars or magnetars have been invoked to explain several astrophysical phenomena. We examine how the magnetic field of a magnetar will decay over time and how this decay affects the cooling of the object. We find that…
The observed correlations, between the characteristic ages and dipole surface magnetic field strengths of all pulsars, can be well explained by magnetic field decay with core temperatures of $~2\times10^{8}$ K, $\sim2\times10^{7}$ K, and…
There exists both theoretical and observational evidence that the magnetic field decay in neutron stars may proceed in a pronounced non--linear way during a certain episode of the neutron star's life. In the presence of a strong magnetic…
The activity of magnetars is believed to be powered by colossal magnetic energy reservoirs. We sketch an evolutionary picture in which internal field evolution in magnetars generates a twisted corona, form which energy may be released…
The flow of a matter, accreting onto a magnetized neutron star, is accompanied by an electric current. The closing of the electric current occurs in the crust of a neutron stars in the polar region across the magnetic field. But the…
We consider the effect of Hall-drift on the evolution of magnetic fields in neutorn star crusts using a finite difference code. Previously, most studies have focused on the situation where the ohmic term dominates the evolution. Here, we…
We present calculations of magnetic field evolution by the Hall effect and Ohmic decay in neutron star crusts. We first discuss when and for which neutron stars the Hall effect is important relative to Ohmic decay. We compute the evolution…
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…
The impact of strong magnetic fields B>10e13 G on the thermal evolution of neutron stars is investigated, including crustal heating by magnetic field decay. For this purpose, we perform 2D cooling simulations with anisotropic thermal…
The intense magnetic fields present in neutron stars are closely linked to their observed temperature and spectral characteristics, timing properties, including spin period and its derivatives. Therefore, a comprehensive theoretical…
We apply the model of flux expulsion from the superfluid and superconductive core of a neutron star, developed by Konenkov & Geppert (2000), both to neutron star models based on different equations of state and to different initial magnetic…
The strong magnetic field of neutron stars is intimately coupled to the observed temperature and spectral properties, as well as to the observed timing properties (distribution of spin periods and period derivatives). Thus, a proper…
Magnetars are comparatively young neutron stars with ultra-strong surface magnetic field in the range $10^{14-16}$ G. The old neutron stars have surface magnetic field some what less $\sim 10^8$ G which clearly indicates the decay of field…
