Equilibrium configurations of degenerate superstars in the quantum limit of the frozen-in magnetic field
Abstract
In the framework of the appproximate energy method, the magnetic field strength in the center of a degenerate superstar and averaged over the whole star is estimated for a given mass of the equilibrium star and a number of given values of the mass density in the center of the degenerate configuration. It is found that the mass of the star in the quantum limit of the frozen-in magnetic field, which is necessary for equilibrium of the configuration, must attain values equal to or greater than 800 solar masses.
