Abstract

A Comment [1] to our recent article [2], expressed criticism on our estimate of the maximum magnetic field that can exist inside a neutron star and on the pressure anisotropy we found for a magnetized gas of fermions. These two points are relevant for the physics of neutron stars. With our reply we attempt not only to address the Comment's criticisms, but for the sake of the reader's understanding, we also try to clarify the connection between our and some literature's results mentioned in the comment.
