The author has carried out numerical calculations of the energies of buoyant magnetic flux tubes in the superconducting cores of neutron stars. It is shown that, if the tubes are fixed at the base of the crust, most of the flux threading the core rises to the inner edge of the crust, where it can decay on a time scale of ≡107yr. A small amount of the flux near the magnetic axis, however, is trapped, which may provide an explanation of the long-lasting residual field indicated by recent observations.
