Abstract

We investigate the influence of a strong magnetic field on various properties of neutron stars with quark-hadron phase transition. The one-gluon exchange contribution in a magnetic field is calculated in a relativistic Dirac-Hartree-Fock approach. In a magnetic field of 5× 1018G in the center of the star, the overall equation of state is softer in comparison to the field-free case resulting in the reduction of maximum mass of the neutron star.
