Kaon Condensation in a Neutron Star under Strong Magnetic Fields by Using the Modified Quark-meson Coupling Model

Abstract

We have considered the antikaon condensation in a neutron star in the presence of strong magnetic fields by using the modified quark-meson coupling (MQMC) model. The structure of the neutron star is investigated with various magnetic fields and different kaon optical potentials, and the effects of the magnetic fields for kaon condensation is discussed. When employing strong magnetic fields inside a neutron star with hyperons and kaon condensation, the magnetic fields can cause the equation of state to be stiff; thus, a large maximum mass of the neutron star can be obtained.
