Hall Equilibria: Solutions with toroidal and poloidal magnetic fields in Neutron Star Crusts

Abstract

We present Hall equilibrium solutions for neutron stars crusts containing toroidal and poloidal magnetic field. Some simple cases are solved analytically while more complicated configurations are found numerically through a Gauss-Seidel elliptic partial differential equation solver.
