Effects of strong magnetic field on moment of inertia and surface gravitational redshift in neutron star

Abstract

Research on the properties of neutron stars with strong magnetic fields is of great significance in constraining the equation of state and revealing the real distribution of magnetic fields in neutron stars. The main macroscopic properties of the traditional neutron star matter under <i>β</i> equilibrium condition are studied within the relativistic mean field theory through using the GL91 parameter set by considering the strong magnetic field. It is found that the onset of the strong magnetic field leads to the stiffened equation of state of the traditional neutron star matter. The maximum mass of the traditional neutron star grows from 2.111 M_⊙ to 3.081 M_⊙, the radius of the fixed mass traditional neutron star grows larger with the increase of internal magnetic field, which makes traditional neutron star become less dense. The strong magnetic field can also reduce the surface gravitational redshift and strengthen the moment of inertia of the traditional neutron star matter. In addition, the theoretical ranges of the surface gravitational redshift and the moment of inertia for the four massive PSRs J1614-2230, J0348+0432, J0740+6620 and J2215-5135, and the 2.50 M_⊙ − 2.67 M_⊙ compact object in the binary merger event GW190814 are also given. The results show that the ranges of the surface redshift become narrower, while the scopes of the moment of inertia widen as the magnetizing field increases in the five stars.
