Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a collection of articles on the properties of highly dense matter in strong magnetic fields and the implications for the physics of compact objects such as neutron stars. Neutron stars are known to have strong surface magnetic fields, with magnetars having surface fields as large as 1015 G. Interior fields can potentially be much larger, estimated to reach values a few times 1017 G, according to studies of magnetars based on GR magnetohydrodynamics. With densities a several times larger than than nuclear saturation density and the largest magnetic fields in nature, neutron stars are a unique natural laboratory for investigating these extreme conditions. Questions such as how the magnetic field can influence the inner matter phase will have implications for the EoS and mass/radius ratio of these compact objects; similarly, the field may affect the star cooling and other transport properties of relevance. These and other potential implications of the magnetic field will be discussed by specialists who have contributed fundamental research to this area of physics and astrophysics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
