Scientific paper

The magnetic field dependent and hence two-dimensional energy transport through the crust of a neutron star was investigated. The self consistent temperature and density profile in the star crust were calculated by interatively solving a coupled system of two nonlinear differential equations. The profiles show that magnetized neutron stars cool worse and hence slower than unmagnetized. The magnetic field acts as a thermal insulator; it also modifies the thermal radiation from the star surface in a characteristic way.
