The Study of Magnetically Deformed Atoms in the Outer Crust of Neutron Stars in Presence of Strong Quantizing Magnetic Field

Abstract

We have studied the various properties of magnetically deformed atoms, replaced by deformed Wigner-Seitz cells, at the outer crust region of strongly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars) using a relativistic version of Thomas-Fermi model in cylindrical coordinates.
