Generation of strong magnetic fields in hybrid and quark stars driven by the electroweak interaction of quarks

Abstract

We study the generation of strong large scale magnetic fields in compact stars containing degenerate quark matter with unbroken chiral symmetry. The magnetic field growth is owing to the magnetic field instability driven by the electroweak interaction of quarks. In this system we predict the enhancement of the seed magnetic field $10^{12}\text{G}$ to the strengths $(10^{14}-10^{15})\text{G}$. In our analysis we use the typical parameters of the quark matter in the core of a hybrid star or in a quark star. We also apply of the obtained results to model the generation of magnetic fields in magnetars.
