abstract
Recently, several white dwarfs with very strong surface magnetic fields have been observed. In this paper we explore the possibility that such stars could have sufficiently strong internal fields to alter their structure. We obtain a revised white dwarf mass-radius relation in the presence of strong internal magnetic fields. We first derive the equation of state for a fully degenerate ideal electron gas in a magnetic field using an Euler-MacLaurin expansion. We use this to obtain the mass-radius relation for magnetic $^{4}$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{56}$Fe white dwarfs of uniform composition.

Landau levels in a gravitational field: The Schwarzschild spacetime case
In Schwarzschild spacetime, a weak gravitational field splits Landau levels by an amount proportional to GMm times the square root of the magnetic field, with explicit Yukawa, power-law, and relativistic corrections derived.
