Description
Evolution of magnetic fields in neutron stars depends strongly on the specific boundary conditions imposed at the stellar surface and the properties of the surrounding magnetosphere. In this talk, I will present various current-free (vacuum) and force-free models of neutron star magnetospheres, describe the resulting boundary conditions, and discuss their implications for the evolution of the neutron star magnetic field through simulations with a magneto-thermal evolution code.
