The magnetization (i.e., the magnetic dipole moment per unit volume) of degenerate ultrarelativistic electron and nonrelativistic proton gases is calculated in the framework of the statistical thermodynamics of equilibrium systems. The magnetic dipole moment of a superdense spherical magnetized star with a given density distribution and a specified frozen-in magnetic-field strength in its interior is estimated. The results obtained indicate that the observed magnetic dipole moment of a neutron star with a magnetic field frozen into the well-conducting matter in its core should correspond to a frozen-in magnetic-field strength of approximately 10 to the 16th to 10 to the 17th gauss.
