Revisiting some physics issues related to the new mass limit for magnetized white dwarfs    [PDF]

Upasana Das, Banibrata Mukhopadhyay
We clarify important physics issues related to the recently established new mass limit for magnetized white dwarfs which is significantly super-Chandrasekhar. The issues include, justification of high magnetic field and the corresponding formation of stable white dwarfs, shape of the white dwarfs under consideration, flux freezing, variation of magnetic field and related currents therein. We also attempt to address the observational connection of such highly magnetized white dwarfs.
