Surface magnetic field of neutron star : B ~ 10 14 – 10 15 G

Interior magnetic field from scalar virial theorem : B ~ 10 18 G ~ 105 Be

c where Be

c is the electron critical field (4.414 x 10 13 G)

We need to investigate neutron star in strong magnetic fields with

strangeness.

The magnetic fields in neutron starMagnetic flux conservation : ФM = < B > R2

Scalar virial theorem for non-rotating star : T + W + 3П + M = 0

Where T : Kinetic energy,W : Gravitational potential,П : Internal energy,M : magnetic energy.

Landau quantization under strong magnetic fields

Lorentz force

In quantum mechanics, the orbits of charged particles are quantized and then charged particles can be confined in strong magnetic fields.

4. Summaries I1. The large masses (M > 2 M solar) of neutron stars in observa-

tions : Are all exotic phases like hyperons and kaon conden-sation ruled out ?

2. But we can explain them with exotic phases by considering very strong magnetic fields B ~ 1018 G .

3. We assume very strong magnetic fields due to scalar virial theorem.

4. Strong magnetic fields cause the Landau quantization of charged particles.

5. Hyperons and kaon condensation with strong magnetic fields can explain around 2 M solar.

Summaries II

6. If strong magnetic fields are possible in the center of a neu-tron star ,

proto-neutron stars may have strong magnetic fields which can cause pulsar kick through the emission of neu-trinos shown in pre-vious talk by Maruyama san.
