A simple model of chiral asymmetry is proposed to interpret the origin of the strong toroidal magnetic field. The electrons relevant to dynamics forming the the field are in a quantume degenerate state with ultra-relativistic Fermi energy. The system is described by Dirac Hartree Fock method using scaled h-bar method. Neutron stars are rotating and have large angular momentum which is formed by cranking model and breaks time reversal. Dirac current is decomposed into convection and spin currents due to Clifford number. The strong toroidal magnetic field is formed by the spin like current resulted by the chiral asymmetry brought about electron capture caused by the parity-violating weak interaction.

Magnetars are neutron stars (NSs) with extreme magnetic fields of strength $5 times 10^{13}$ - $10^{15}$ G. They exhibit transient, highly energetic events, such as short X-ray flashes, bursts and giant flares, all of which are powered by their enorm ous magnetic energy. Quiescent magnetars have X-ray luminosities between $10^{29}$ and $10^{35}$ erg/s, and are further classified as either persistent or transient magnetars. Their X-ray emission is modulated with the rotational period of the NS, with a typical relative amplitude (so-called pulsed fraction) between 10-58 per cent, implying that the surface temperature is significantly non-uniform despite the high thermal conductivity of the stars crust. Here, we present the first 3D magneto-thermal MHD simulations of magnetars with strong toroidal magnetic fields. We show that these models, combined with ray propagation in curved space-time, accurately describe the light-curves of most transient magnetars in quiescence and allow us to further constrain their rotational orientation. We find that the presence of a strong toroidal magnetic field explains the observed asymmetry in the surface temperature, and is the main cause of the strong modulation of thermal X-ray emission in quiescence.
We utilize an exact quantum calculation to explore axion emission from electrons and protons in the presence of the strong magnetic field of magnetars. The axion is emitted via transitions between the Landau levels generated by the strong magnetic fi eld. The luminosity of axions emitted by protons is shown to be much larger than that of electrons and becomes stronger with increasing matter density. Cooling by axion emission is shown to be much larger than neutrino cooling by the Urca processes. Consequently, axion emission in the crust may significantly contribute to the cooling of magnetars. In the high-density core, however, it may cause heating of the magnetar.

We develop covariant chiral kinetic theory with Landau level basis. We use it to investigate a magnetized plasma with a transverse electric field and a steady vorticity as perturbations. After taking into account vacuum shift in the latter case, we f ind the resulting current and stress tensor in both cases can be matched consistently with constitutive equations of magnetohydrodynamics. We find the solution in the vorticity case contains both shifts in temperature and chemical potential as well as excitations of the lowest Landau level states. The solution gives rise to an vector charge density and axial current density. The vacuum parts coming from both shifts and excitations agree with previous studies and the medium parts coming entirely from excitations leads to a new contribution to vector charge and axial current density consistent with standard chiral vortical effect.
In a transient magnetic field, heavy quarkonium bound states evolve non adiabatically. In presence of a strong magnetic field, $J/Psi$ and $Upsilon(1S)$ become more tightly bound than we expected earlier for a pure thermal medium. We have shown that in a time varying magnetic field, there is a possibility of moderate suppression of $J/Psi$ through the non adiabatic transition to continuum where as the $Upsilon(1S)$ is so tightly bound that can not be dissociated through this process. We have calculated the dissociation probabilities up to the first order in the time dependent perturbation theory for different values of initial magnetic field intensity.
In spite of its key role in compact star physics, the surface tension of quark matter is not well comprehended yet. In this work we analyze the behavior of the surface tension of three-flavor quark matter in the outer and inner core of cold deleptoni zed magnetars, proto magnetars born in core collapse supernovae, and hot magnetars produced in binary neutron stars mergers. We explore the role of temperature, baryon number density, trapped neutrinos, droplet size, and magnetic fields within the multiple reflection expansion formalism. Quark matter is described within the MIT bag model and is assumed to be in chemical equilibrium under weak interactions. We discuss some astrophysical consequences of our results.
