Abstract

The Fermi energy, partial concentrations of polarized neutrons, pressure, and volume energy density of a degenerate nonrelativistic neutron gas in a magnetic field are calculated using numerical methods taking into account the anomalous magnetic moment of a neutron. The results of calculations are a generalization of relations underlying the Oppenheimer-Volkov model of a neutron star to the case of an applied magnetic field. An ultrastrong (up to 1017 G) magnetic field changes the pressure and internal energy of the star and affects it static configuration and evolution. It is shown that a degenerate neutron gas in ultrastrong and weak magnetic fields is paramagnetic; the corresponding values of magnetic susceptibility differ by a factor on the order of unity. The possibility of experimentally verifying the results from analysis of pulsar-emitted radiation is discussed.
