Radial Oscillations of Neutron Stars in Strong Magnetic Fields

Abstract
The eigen frequencies of radial pulsations of neutron stars are calculated in a strong magnetic field. At low densities we use the magnetic BPS equation of state(EOS) similar to that obtained by Lai and Shapiro while at high densities the EOS obtained from the relativistic nuclear mean field theory is taken and extended to include strong magnetic field. It is found that magnetised neutron stars support higher maximum mass where as the effect of magnetic field on radial stability for observed neutron star masses is minimal.
