TL;DR
This paper investigates the potential for $ ho^-$ meson condensation in highly magnetized neutron stars, suggesting that strong magnetic fields in magnetars could induce such exotic phases under certain conditions.
Contribution
It introduces the possibility of $ ho^-$ meson condensation in magnetized neutron stars, considering magnetic field effects on phase transitions.
Findings
Meson condensation may occur in magnetars with sufficiently strong magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields influence the conditions for exotic phase formation.
Results depend on specific parameters of the neutron star environment.
Abstract
Neutron stars feature extremely high magnetic fields with deduced field strengths of G in the case of magnetars and potentially much higher values inside of the star. In this context we consider the appearance of meson condensation taking into account the effect of the magnetic field. The results show that, depending on parameters, such a condensation in magnetized neutron stars might (just) occur.
