(Abridged) The hyperaccreting neutron star or magnetar disks cooled via neutrino emission can be a candidate of gamma-ray burst (GRB) central engines. The strong field $\geq10^{15}-10^{16}$ G of the magnetar can play a significant role in…

Binary neutron star mergers can form short-lived magnetar-like remnants whose magnetically dominated polar towers reach $B\sim10^{15}$--$10^{16}\,\mathrm{G}$, but the microphysical composition of these outflows remains poorly understood.…
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…
