We propose a general method to self-consistently study the quasistationary evolution of the magnetic field in the cores of neutron stars. The traditional approach to this problem is critically revised. Our results are illustrated by calculation of the typical timescales for the magnetic field dissipation as functions of temperature and the magnetic field strength.

Magnetic field dynamics in isolated neutron stars with an external dipole field
Long-term numerical relativity simulations find that neutron star magnetic fields relax to stable mixed configurations with toroidal energy fraction ≲10% within one Alfvén time after Tayler instability saturation.
