Description

I will describe the microphysics, phenomenology, and astrophysical implication of a B-field induced unpairing effect that may occur in magnetars, if the local B-field in the core of a magnetar exceeds a critical value Hc2. The focus will be on modification in the neutrino emissivities of neutron stars as well as their superfluid dynamics.
