The issues include, justification of high magnetic field and the corresponding formation of stable white dwarfs, contribution of the magnetic field to the total density and pressure, flux freezing, variation of magnetic field and related currents therein. We also attempt to address the observational connection of such highly magnetized white dwarfs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-03-04T14:52:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "97.20.Rp", "97.60.Bw", "97.10.Ld", "71.70.Di", "51.30.+i" ], "keywords": [ "magnetized white dwarfs", "mass limit", "clarify important physics issues", "high magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Modern Physics Letters A", "year": 2014, "month": "Mar", "volume": 29, "number": 7, "pages": 1450035 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1227782, "adsabs": "2014MPLA...2950035D" } } }
