Neutron star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A neutron star is a type of remnant that can result from the gravitational collapse of a massive star during a Type II, Type Ib or Type Ic supernova event. Such stars are composed almost entirely of...

The strongest inferred neutron star fields are nearly a hundred trillion times stronger than Earth's fields, and even the feeblest neutron star magnetic fields are a hundred million times Earth's, which is a hundred times stronger that any steady field we can generate in a laboratory. ... The star cools off very quickly,

Neutron stars also have very strong magnetic fields (although weak when compared with magnetars), conserving the magnetic field of the parent star before it exploded as a supernova. However, the huge magnetic field strength predicted from observations of magnetars is a mystery.

Recall that electrically conducting fluids tend to trap magnetic field lines. The fluids can move across the field lines only very slowly, and conversely the field lines can move across the fluid only very slowly. ... The neutron star has a strong magnetic field frozen into it.

A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star that has a mechanism to beam light, much like a lighthouse. This mechanism is only partially understood, but is connected with very strong magnetic fields spinning with the star. ... Typical Magnetic Field Strengths...

Neutron stars are very magnetic.  They have a magnetic field strength of a billion to a trillion Gauss.  In comparison, the Earth's magnetic field is about 0.5 Gauss, and a refrigerator magnet is about 10 to 100 Gauss.  Magnetars are a thousand times more magnetic than neutron stars, about a hundred trillion...
