Anisotropic pressure in the quark core of a strongly magnetized hybrid star

The impact of a strong magnetic field, varying with the total baryon number density, on thermodynamic properties of strange quark matter (SQM) in the core of a magnetized hybrid star is considered at zero temperature within the framework of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) bag model. It is clarified that the central magnetic field strength is bound from above by the value at which the derivative of the longitudinal pressure with respect to the baryon number density vanishes first somewhere in the quark core under varying the central field. Above this upper bound, the instability along the magnetic field is developed in magnetized SQM. The total energy density, longitudinal and transverse pressures are found as functions of the total baryon number density.
