Is the magnetic field making the inner crust of neutron stars more heterogeneous?
arXiv:1603.05000 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.94.062801
Abstract
We study the effect of strong magnetic fields, of the order of G, on the extension of the crust of magnetized neutron stars. The dynamical instability region of neutron-proton-electron () matter at subsaturation densities and the mode with the largest growth rate are determined within a relativistic mean field model. It is shown that a strong magnetic field has a large effect on the instability region, defining the crust-core transition as a wide density range.
