Gyro-Magnetic Relations and Masses of Stars

Abstract

The calculations in Thomas-Fermi approximation show that in a gravitational field each cell of ultra dense matter inside celestial bodies obtains a very small positive electric charge. A celestial body is electrically neutral as a whole, because the negative electric charge exists on its surface. On the order of magnitude the positive volume charge is very small ($10^{-18}e$ only). But it is sufficient to explain the occurrence of magnetic fields of celestial bodies and the existence of a discrete spectrum of steady-state values of masses of stars and pulsars.
