We investigate the effects of a magnetic field on the thermodynamics of a neutron system at finite density and temperature. Our main motivation is to deepen the understanding of the physics of a class of neutron stars known as magnetars,…
We explore the multi-scatter capturing of the massive dark matter (DM) particle inside the neutron star via a momentum-dependent dark matter-nucleon scattering cross-section. We find that the capturing enhanced for the positive velocity and…

If the dark matter is composed of axions, then axion stars are expected to be abundant in the Universe. We demonstrate in fully non-linear (3+1) numerical relativity the instability of compact axion stars due to the electromagnetic…

The magnetic fields observed in Ap-stars, white dwarfs, and neutron stars are known to be stable for long times. However, the physical conditions inside the stellar interiors that allow these states are still a matter of research. It has…
Considering the observed anisotropy in cosmic microwave background radiation ($\Delta T/T \leq 10^{-4}$) an upper limit on the electric charge asymmetry over a cosmological scale is found which is several orders more stringent than those…

The phenomenology of the emission of pulsars and magnetars depends dramatically on the structure and properties of their magnetic field. In particular it is believed that the outbursting and flaring activity observed in AXPs and SRGs is…
The evolution of the r-mode instability is likely to be accompanied by secular kinematic effects which will produce differential rotation with large scale drifts of fluid elements, mostly in the azimuthal direction. As first discussed by…
We propose a general method to self-consistently study the quasistationary evolution of the magnetic field in the cores of neutron stars. The traditional approach to this problem is critically revised. Our results are illustrated by…
Current models of magnetars require extremely strong magnetic fields to explain their observed quiescent and bursting emission, implying that the field strength within the star's outer crust is orders of magnitude larger than the dipole…
Employing both the number density and energy density, the equation of state of fermions for each microscopic region of a neutron star is derived in the presence of various statistical effects. It is computed as functions of temperature (T),…
Observations of thermal radiation from neutron stars can potentially provide information about the states of supranuclear matter in the interiors of these stars with the aid of the theory of neutron-star thermal evolution. We review the…
The thermal emission from isolated neutron stars is not well understood. The X-ray spectrum is very close to a blackbody but there is a systematic optical excess flux with respect to the extrapolation to low energy of the best blackbody…
A remarkable fact about spherically-symmetric neutron stars in hydrostatic equilibrium - the so-called Schwarzschild stars - is that the only physics that they are sensitive to is the equation of state of neutron-rich matter. As such,…
