All quark pair. No gapless fermions, no massless gluons.
Color superconductivity is more robust than conventional superconductivity (no need to resort to phonons). Hence is a high Tc superconductor.
Chiral symmetry is broken in an unconventional way: through the locking of flavor and color symmetries.

Supernova remnants associated with magnetars should be an order of magnitude more energetic, but
Recent calculations indicate that their energies are similar.
When a magnetar spins down, the rotational energy output should go into a magnetized wind of ultra-relativistic electrons and positrons that radiate via synchrotron emission.
So far nobody has detected the expected luminous pulsar wind nebulae around magnetars.
Possible Alternatives:
B can be boosted (Ferrer& VI,
PRL’06) or even induced (Ferrer& VI, PRD’07; Son and Stephanov, PRD’08)
by a CS core
DIFFICULTIES OF THE STANDARD MAGNETAR MODEL
Neutron stars provide a natural lab to explore the effects of B in CS
What is the correct ground state at intermediate densities? Is it affected by the star’s magnetic field? Inhomogeneous Gluon Condensates, other field-related effects…

CONCLUSIONS
It seems to be a profound connection between magnetism and color superconductivity. More work needs to be done to explore this association at a deeper level and to establish a link between theory and astrophysical observations.
