Abstract: Magnetars are a type of neutron stars with extremely powerful magnetic fields,which also
have the strongest magnetic fields in the universe ever discovered by human. The magnetic field of
a magnetar has not only a poloidal component. Because of its high intensity,it can apply enough
stress on the shell of the star to cause shear, which leads to the twist of the magnetic field
around the stellar surface. Magnetars fit the force-free condition be- cause their
magnetic energy is dominated by magnetic pressure. Plasma pressure in the magnetosphere
is far less than magnetic pressure so it can be ignored. In this paper,we tried to find
the variable separated stream function solution around the surface of magnetar under
force-free condition and carry out numerical simulation of field lines, as well as numerical
calculation of twist angle and magnetic energy.
Key words: magnetic field, magenetar, numerical calculation
